  • Description

    As part of the In Focus Casebook Series, Business Bankruptcy Law In Focus, offers a comprehensive, practice-oriented approach to the legal and practical aspects of business bankruptcy. By providing real world scenarios throughout, the text gives students numerous opportunities to apply what they are learning, and solidify their understanding of important concepts. Clear explanatory text, case previews and case follow ups further clarify the doctrine and aid in student understanding of concepts.  With its focus on business bankruptcy, this text begins by reviewing the basics of business entities and debt along with essential business bankruptcy concepts, then moves onto covering powers of debtor in possession, drafting and confirming a plan of reorganization, evolving forms of business bankruptcy (e.g. liquidation of assets, prepackaged and pre-negotiated, structured dismissals, etc.).  It then introduces cross-border insolvencies under Chapter 15 of the Code, bankruptcy jurisdiction, including core and noncore proceedings following the Supreme Court decision in Stern v. Marshall.
