BAPCPA at 10

by Michelle Harner (Editor)

Overview

ABI marked the 10th anniversary of the enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA) by hosting a pair of media webinars assessing the effects of the Act on both business and consumer bankruptcy. Now those presentations have been turned into this handy and informative e-book. BAPCPA at 10 is Vol. 3 of the ABI Briefs e-book series, and features transcripts of prominent scholars and practitioners discussing and debating the effects of BAPCPA over the last 10 years. Complete with helpful charts, commentary, and proposals to modify chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to adapt to the realities of distressed businesses in the current economic climate, this ebook strikes a balance in bringing to the fore what those in the trenches say is -- and isn't -- working in bankruptcy law today.
