Practical Bankruptcy Law for Paralegals

Practical Bankruptcy Law for Paralegals is the textbook that meets all the needs of paralegal students exploring the topic of bankruptcy as it relates to their future profession. It presents this sometimes-complex subject in a straightforward manner. The text explores why bankruptcy law covers what it does, the written and unwritten rules of procedure that guide how the substantive law of bankruptcy is implemented and the necessary tools for mastering the procedural labyrinth of bankruptcy practice. Tools include timelines, checklists, analysis aids, sample forms and pleadings. The text addresses the issue of ethics and, in fact, addresses this subject at the end of each chapter in a feature called Ethics Pointer.
