4.0 out of 5 stars the handy go-to guide, June 17, 2010

has exactly what you need day-to-day for a practicing bankruptcy attorney. Most helpful are the insertions of the full text of the FRCP into the FRBP (if you have to ask what that stands for, you probably don't need this book). Saves a lot of time going off to another book to see what exactly the bankruptcy rules are incorporating.

I probably use this at least once a week for quick reference to the Code and Rules. Very handy, useful format, keep it on your desk. (I would have given it five stars, but it's a bit on the pricey side for a plain paperback. Still, not much of a criticism considering the competition from West and Lexis at three times the price.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Every Bankruptcy Lawyer Should Have A copy of the Code, January 3, 2011

Every Bankruptcy Lawyer should have a copy of the Code. Which publisher you prefer is often a matter of taste. Some prefer a more compact size. Others prefer larger print. This copy will be just fine for most. For Business leaders or general practice lawyers looking to understand the Code, I still recommend adding a copy of Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers
