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/'>http://consumer.abiworld.org)
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, Prof. 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 the user
“hovers” over an important bankruptcy term with their
cursor, an easy-to-understand definition appears 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.
