Book Description

June 1991 0316923567 978-0316923569 2
The lively style, excellent problems, and balanced coverage of The Law of Debtors and Creditors: Text, Cases, and Problems have made this text one of the leading bankruptcy law casebooks. Honed through six editions, it continues to provide students and professors with an exemplary instructional tool.

Among the attributes that make this casebook a favorite with teachers and students alike:

  • more than 50 problem sets --featuring the realistic questions a lawyer considers in confronting the statutory provisions for a bankruptcy case
  • explanatory text throughout makes bankruptcy law accessible to students and easier to teach
  • organized functionally, as a bankruptcy case would unfold --students find it logical and sensible
  • a thematic "mega-problem" appears throughout the book, providing chapter-by-chapter review and integrating elements of all chapters at the end of the book
  • consumer bankruptcy is separated from business bankruptcy for clarity, and the text begins with the more familiar consumer bankruptcy

This timely revision has been updated to reflect recent developments and case law and includes:

  • coverage of cases resulting from the 2005 Amendments, including consumer bankruptcy, including Chapter 7; Chapter 13, the "hanging paragraph" and means test eligibility
  • expanded business law coverage with individualized treatment of small business bankruptcies and their bigger, publicly traded Chapter 11 cousins, emphasizing the rapid changes in the world of reorganization and the first international cases under Chapter 15
  • as in past editions, there are problem sets for each subject area in the book, however the sixth edition will have variations of some of the problems available, allowing for more flexibility

Classroom-tested through five editions, revised to keep pace with the most recent developments in the world of bankruptcy, The Law of Debtors and Creditors: Text, Cases, and Problems, Sixth Edition, is an unbeatable method for teaching a practical, animated, and completely state-of-the-art course.

5.0 out of 5 stars More engaging than my teacher., January 12, 2008
By 
Kevin Davidson (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
As a student, this was probably the best textbook I've ever used. The authors presented the material in an engaging way that brings out the relevance, controversy, and centrality of creditor/debtor/bankruptcy law in the life of almost every American. I never thought I'd say this about a textbook, but it's a great read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Working With It, September 9, 2009
Prof. Warren is quite well respected. Some students rate this as a great case book. Others really dislike it. If the book is assigned to you buy it and work with it. You can always supplement the book with other books that people find helpful. For an introduction to Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations, I recommend Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers. If you course will also cover other forms of bankrutptcy, I would also purchase Bankruptcy And Debtor/creditor: Examples And Explanations (Examples & Explanations).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best law book I've had in school, February 10, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
In law school, textbooks are generally written, edited, and typeset to be uniformly hard to read. This book, on the other hand, is lucid and interesting as well as covering the important parts of case and statutory law. It's well-organized, and the font and line spacing make it easy on the eyes and comprehensible during late-night studying. For the first time in law school, I found myself reading weeks ahead of the syllabus just for the enjoyment of reading. If all law books were this good, JDs would learn a lot more in school.
