Bankruptcy

Catalog description

This course will provide a comprehensive survey of basic bankruptcy law. We will devote roughly equal time to consumer bankruptcy and business bankruptcy. Throughout the course, we will touch on the economic, political, and ethical issues underlying bankruptcy's competing goals: providing overextended consumer and business debtors with a fresh start and satisfying creditors' claims in an orderly, fair way. There are no prerequisites. Students' grades will be based on classroom participation and a take-home final exam.
