Problems and Materials on Debtor and Creditor Law

This straightforward, student-friendly book combines a popular problems approach with a well-balanced mix of text and cases to build a solid, nuts-and-bolts introduction to the Bankruptcy Code, statutory rules, and issues of bankruptcy law. Its sensible organization allows instructors to tailor coverage to their own approach. The seventh edition benefits from the addition of a new coauthor, Professor Bradley, of the University of Kentucky.

New to the Seventh Edition:

• A complete rewrite, primarily by Professor Bradly, with the focus is now being heavily on preparing attorneys for the real-world problems they will encounter in a practice that focuses on bankruptcy and other debtor/creditor issues.
• A new chapter covering the new subchapter V of Chapter 11, which was introduced by the Small Business Reorganizations Act and which has proven very popular since it came into force in March of 2020.
• An extended treatment of 363 Sales, better reflecting modern practice realities as compared with how other books deal with this topic.

Professors and student will benefit from:

• A more textual approach in explaining the difficulties of the law by adding many explanations of how to approach and handle the legal difficulties in this area as they arise.
• Less reliance on Problems in favor of explanations of how to approach and handle the legal difficulties in this area as they arise.
• A simple but thorough summary of bankruptcy law in chapter one, which makes it easier for students to place all the future chapters into context.
