LAW 210 - Bankruptcy.

This is a survey introducing students to the bankruptcy issues attending the liquidation and reorganization of businesses as well as the rehabilitation of individual debtors. While a substantial portion of the course material considers the incidents of Chapter 13 adjustment of consumer debt and the reorganization of large businesses under Chapter 11, the focus of the course is on the general principles that apply across all of the chapters of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended. Through a combination of problems and cases, the students develop an understanding of the debtor-creditor dynamic in bankruptcy proceedings. Three hours. Howard
