Description
The Law of Debtors and Creditors: Text Cases and Problems 8th Edition ISBN 9781454893516
A mainstay in bankruptcy education, The Law of Debtors and Creditors is one of the most widely adopted and respected casebooks in the field. Authored by a distinguished team—including Senator Elizabeth Warren, Congresswoman Katie Porter, and Professors John Pottow and Jay Westbrook—the book presents bankruptcy law in a dynamic, practice-oriented format that engages both doctrinal understanding and real-world application.
The text is organized to mirror the natural flow of a bankruptcy case, offering 39 carefully constructed problem sets that present realistic scenarios and the kinds of questions lawyers face in practice. Many problems embed ethical challenges, helping students develop professional judgment alongside legal knowledge. Accompanied by explanatory text written in a clear and accessible style, the book is approachable for students and easy to teach. A unique feature is its division between consumer and business bankruptcy, allowing instructors to tailor coverage depending on whether the course runs two, three, or four credits.
The Eighth Edition reflects major changes in the field, including:
- Comprehensive coverage of the Small Business Reorganization Act (Subchapter V of Chapter 11), introduced just before the COVID-19 pandemic;
- Analysis of recent Supreme Court decisions such as Jevic, Merit Management, Midland Funding, and Wellness;
- Updated treatment of § 363 sales and the ABI Commission’s recommendations on consumer bankruptcy reform;
- A host of new and revised problems based on current case law and legal developments.
Professors benefit from an exceptionally rich Teacher’s Manual, packed with guidance for using the problem sets, new citations, and classroom strategies. Students gain from the book’s thoughtful blend of theory, doctrine, policy, and transactional analysis—all conveyed through engaging, contemporary materials that bridge legal education and practice.

Shipping & Returns
-
Fast, standard shipping
Most students receive their books in 3 to 9 business days.
-
Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
