RELEASES THORNY ISSUES IN CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY
CASES
November 3,
2008, Alexandria, Va. - Based on a series of
successful Webinars that discussed consumer bankruptcy topics, the
American Bankruptcy Institute's
size='3'>Thorny Issues in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases
size='3'>addresses some of the controversial issues arising in today's
consumer bankruptcy practice. The authors, ABI Resident Scholar
Prof. Jack Williams
and Susan
Seabury of BDO Seidman LLP, provide a
compilation of materials that were presented during a series of Webinars
held in 2007 and 2008, covering such topics as getting the discharge,
paying debtor and creditor counsel in chapter 13, credit counseling and
debtor education, and post-confirmation modifications.
Thorny Issues
in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases examines the
sometimes ambiguous path of consumer bankruptcy practice in the wake of
BAPCPA by focusing on the recurring 'thorny' issues that do not have
clearly defined answers, presenting both sides to the arguments. In
addition, overturned decisions are presented to help practitioners
understand the development of the current positions.
