This book focuses on the material covered in a typical law school course on Bankruptcy. It covers both business and consumer bankruptcy. The book explains basic bankruptcy concepts and then uses those concepts to make code provisions understandable.
The textbook of choice of Judge Rucker and Judge Taylor who serves as Judges for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern and Western Districts of Arkansas.
I think the reason this book has been chosen by them, is that it does a great job at synthesizing the US bankruptcy code into something that is understandable for most lawyers. The hornbook is a short book and does a great job at breaking down the most typical bankruptcy situations and scenarios. Ultimately, this will be a book that I will likely keep in an office as a reference.
I should also commend Mr.Epstein and Mr. Nickles (Epstein's coauthor) for both formerly teaching at the University of Arkansas.
