This textbook has major issues. The authors are obsessed with the pre-Bapcpa code. Some historical discussion is fine and gives nice context. Even stating that Bapcpa is messy and has created issues for courts, practitioners, debtors, creditors and consumers would be fine, but this is not what the authors did. Instead, they hurl invective at Bapcpa incessantly. We get it: you don't like the amendments. Guess what though? No one cares what you "feel" about the law. Instead, what matters to students (and practitioners) is what the law actually is and how it is to be applied.

Cases, particularly in the Ch 11 segment of the book, are horrifically edited. There is absolutely no need to have 25 page cases dealing with subissues here. More generally, the Ch 11 segment of the text is very, very poorly written. In fact, there is no discernible order or logical flow to most of the section. This last criticism, that there is no logical order, is actually present to some degree throughout the entire text.

Overall, this book does little to assist students in learning about Bankruptcy law or practice. Instead, it presents biased views in a sloppy format.

well, it's bankruptcy -- how much can i say? personally i think there was too much discussion about previous manifestations of the code. any book will be like that i assume. honestly though -- if you're reading this you've probably been told to buy it by your professor so it doesn't matter what i say. if you're a professor deciding which text to use, i doubt i'm the best resource.

The description of this book was far different than that which was described- the condition was way worse. And the seller was unreasonable and rude with regards to refunding the difference- Do not trust the seller or the seller's descriptions.
