LAW
December 14, 2010, Alexandria, Va. — The American
Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) has released When Worlds Collide:
Bankruptcy and Domestic Relations Law, Fourth Edition, to provide
state court judges and attorneys with a better understanding of how
bankruptcy intersects with family law. Updated by Prof. Michaela
M. White of Creighton University School of Law, When Worlds
Collide discusses the increasing opportunity for conflict between
the work of the state courts and the federal bankruptcy courts, and
between state domestic relations law and bankruptcy law. Appendices
feature relevant sections of the Bankruptcy Code, as well as a list of
cases and articles on the issues discussed within the text. The book is
used in ABI’s educational program for state court judges.
