ISBN: 9798889066217

The Law of Debtors and Creditors: Text, Cases, and Problems, Ninth Edition

A leading bankruptcy casebook, The Law of Debtors and Creditors offers a practical, engaging, and current approach to consumer bankruptcy, corporate reorganization, and cross-border insolvency. Written by Elizabeth Warren, Jay Lawrence Westbrook, John A.E. Pottow, Katherine Porter, Pamela Foohey, and Angela K. Littwin, the book features 39 problem sets based on realistic issues encountered by bankruptcy attorneys.

Its practical organization follows the progression of consumer and business bankruptcy cases, using problems that incorporate legal doctrine, transactional strategy, and ethical challenges. Lively explanatory text makes complex bankruptcy concepts accessible, while dedicated chapters explore the theoretical and policy foundations of bankruptcy law. Separate sections on consumer and business bankruptcy allow professors to tailor coverage for two-, three-, or four-credit courses.
