Bankruptcy Law: Principles, Policies, and Practice

The Third Edition has been revised extensively throughout to reflect changes in the law and its underlying philosophy, as well as significant new case law developments. In addition, a new chapter adds coverage of bankruptcy jurisdiction.

The authors' aim in designing the casebook was to provide a very accessible medium for introducing students to bankruptcy law in a sophisticated manner. As the title indicates, the emphasis is on the relationship between the core principles essential to an understanding of the law, the policies animating those principles, and the challenges presented by the effectuation of those principles and policies in bankruptcy practice.

In its methodology, Bankruptcy Law: Principles, Policies, and Practice relies on a variety of expository tools— textual discussion, comprehension questions, problems, cases and thought / discussion questions— all with a careful eye toward building upon previous materials and concepts.
