UPDATED EDITION OF POPULAR CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY GUIDE NOW AVAILABLE IN THE ABI BOOKSTORE
June 16, 2011, Alexandria, Va. — Available now in
the American Bankruptcy Institute's (ABI) Bookstore is an update of
ABI’s popular consumer bankruptcy guide, Consumer Bankruptcy:
Fundamentals of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code,
Third Edition. The new edition, written by Alane A.
Becket and William A. McNeal, covers the
fundamentals of consumer bankruptcy proceedings under chapters 7 and 13
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including updated information on the
changes in the law since the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer
Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA).
In addition to providing the fundamentals of chapters 7 and 13,
including debtor's duties, procedure, dischargeability, automatic stay
and much more, the guide includes information on today's most litigated
questions, including issues surrounding applicable commitment periods in
chapter 13 plans, projected disposable income, and case conversion and
exemptions. In addition, the revised book analyzes several new U.S.
Supreme Court decisions, including Lanning, Ransom, Espinosa
and Milavetz, and addresses the current state of consumer
bankruptcy law. While it is ideal for the generalist practitioner, even
experienced consumer bankruptcy professionals will benefit from the
insights provided.
Members of the press interested in receiving a copy or interviewing the
authors should contact John Hartgen at 703-894-5935 or [email protected]. The
softbound Consumer Bankruptcy: Fundamentals of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Third Edition, is available for pre-order
