Bankruptcy (Including BAPCPA): 21st Century Debtor-Creditor Law (3rd Edition)

     Using primarily original text and problems, this book integrates the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 into coverage of basic bankruptcy concepts such as property of the estate, claims, discharge, automatic stay, and all other basic concepts of bankruptcy law. More specifically, Dave, Bruce, Steve, and Liz have prepared new text and problems on issues such as:

     On still other issues such as fraudulent transfers, preferences, leases, dischargeability of domestic obligations, and lots of other issues, the problems have remained the same; only the answers have changed.

     Also, for teachers wanting to spend time on basic, non-bankruptcy debtor-creditor law, David, Liz, Bruce, and Steve have prepared an entire chapter of materials on this law. It covers everything from extra-judicial collection to judicial, statutory, and consensual liens, including a basic introduction to UCC Article 9. To help with this introduction, the authors have also prepared a mini-eArticle 9 that extracts the most important provisions and rearranges them for ease of understanding and teaching.

     The supplemetal e-materials not only have revised text and problems for use by your students but also revised teachers’ notes so that you know what Epstein, Markell, Nickles, and Perris had in mind when they wrote the problems. And, the e-materials have much more than new casebook and teachers manual pages, including:
