Examples & Explanations for Bankruptcy and Debtor/Creditor by Brian A Blum

Through its previous seven editions, Examples & Explanations: Bankruptcy and Debtor/Creditor has been popular with students and practitioners for its extraordinarily lucid explanations of complex concepts. In this eighth edition, the coauthors, Brian Blum and Samir Parikh, combine their expertise to enhance the book's treatment of all salient areas of bankruptcy and debtor-creditor law. Although there are many changes in the eighth edition, it maintains the format and approach of previous editions. The textual discussion of the principles, goals, policies, and legal rules of Bankruptcy and Debtor-Creditor law is clear and accessible. The Examples & Explanations pedagogy gives the reader practice interpreting the Bankruptcy Code and applying the rules and principles to factual situations. This book will help law students master fundamental federal bankruptcy and state debtor-creditor concepts and rules, which will help them succeed in upper-level bankruptcy/debtor-creditor courses; and it will also give them a leg up when they encounter bankruptcy in other areas, such as family law, taxation, real estate, business organizations, secured transactions, torts, and others. New to the 8th Edition: New problems addressing current bankruptcy issues, including mass tort bankruptcies like Purdue Pharma and Boy Scouts of America. Read more
