ABI’S
REVAMPED CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY CENTER FEATURES UPDATED INFORMATION, NEW
FUNCTIONALITY
August 24, 2010, Alexandria,
Va. — The American Bankruptcy Institute has revamped its
Consumer Bankruptcy Center website (
href='http://consumer.abiworld.org/'>
face='Times New Roman'>http://consumer.abiworld.org
size='3' face='Times New Roman'>) to provide consumers and practitioners
with updated and understandable information, along with increased
functionality, to learn more about the consumer bankruptcy process.
ABI's Robert M. Zinman Resident Scholar for Spring 2010, Juliet M.
Moringiello (Widener University School of Law), revised the two
'frequently asked questions' (FAQ) sections of the website to provide an
up-to-date perspective of the consumer bankruptcy process in a plain
language format that is clear to the general public and bankruptcy
professional.
The FAQs also contain a
“glossary” so that as users “hover” over
important bankruptcy terms with their cursors, easy-to-understand
definitions appear in a bubble. Members of the public and consumer
bankruptcy practitioners are welcome to link to the revamped site to
provide a clear and comprehensive resource to learn more about the
consumer bankruptcy process.
