Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear-cut and student-friendly, Problems and Materials on Debtor and Creditor Law offers an appropriate mix of problems, text, and cases to build a solid introduction to the Bankruptcy Code, statutory rules, and issues of bankruptcy law. The popular problems approach helps students focus on practical "nuts and bolts" of the law as it is applied in practice. Carefully chosen cases demonstrate how the bankruptcy system works and reflect recent developments in bankruptcy law. The text's sensible organization and manageable length allows instructors to tailor coverage to their own approach. The Fifth Edition addresses the "means test" determining eligibility for basic bankruptcy relief in a new way, explaining that most attorneys rely on computer software to do the calculations. New cases and analysis support the discussion. Expanded treatment of Chapter 9 Bankruptcies coincides with the increasing number of cities going into bankruptcy. The discussion of involuntary bankruptcy has been significantly cut back. New Supreme Court cases have been added as well as some important lower court decisions--for example, the circuit courts--agreement that financing of "negative equity" on a traded-in vehicle as part of the purchase of a new car qualifies as a "purchase money security interest." A new segment on the treatment of "hostage value" collateral in consumer loans explores various possibilities under both the Bankruptcy Code and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and looks at the difference between the "transformation" rule and the "dual status" rule.

Download or read book Debt s Dominion written by David A. Skeel Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bankruptcy in America, in stark contrast to its status in most other countries, typically signifies not a debtor's last gasp but an opportunity to catch one's breath and recoup. Why has the nation's legal system evolved to allow both corporate and individual debtors greater control over their fate than imaginable elsewhere? Masterfully probing the political dynamics behind this question, David Skeel here provides the first complete account of the remarkable journey American bankruptcy law has taken from its beginnings in 1800, when Congress lifted the country's first bankruptcy code right out of English law, to the present day. Skeel shows that the confluence of three forces that emerged over many years--an organized creditor lobby, pro-debtor ideological currents, and an increasingly powerful bankruptcy bar--explains the distinctive contours of American bankruptcy law. Their interplay, he argues in clear, inviting prose, has seen efforts to legislate bankruptcy become a compelling battle royale between bankers and lawyers--one in which the bankers recently seem to have gained the upper hand. Skeel demonstrates, for example, that a fiercely divided bankruptcy commission and the 1994 Republican takeover of Congress have yielded the recent, ideologically charged battles over consumer bankruptcy. The uniqueness of American bankruptcy has often been noted, but it has never been explained. As different as twenty-first century America is from the horse-and-buggy era origins of our bankruptcy laws, Skeel shows that the same political factors continue to shape our unique response to financial distress.
