Together, the three co-authors have taught bankruptcy courses at more than 15 very different law schools over several decades. One of them sat as a bankruptcy judge for nine years; and all three have substantial practical experience. Drawing on their diverse experiences, they have prepared original text, problems, and edited cases with three goals in mind: (1) to introduce students to one new bankruptcy concept at a time; (2) to show students the connection among the various concepts; and (3) to give the students a sense of how these common bankruptcy concepts are operationalized in both the smallest personal and largest business bankruptcy cases.
