Basic Bankruptcy Law for Paralegals, Abridged
Edition evolved from a need to develop a nuts-and-bolts description
of the bankruptcy system written in a manner that could be easily
understood by nonlawyers. The primary intent has been to design this
text as a basic primer for legal assistants or paralegal students to
help them grasp the practical aspects of representing debtors or
creditors within the bankruptcy system. To meet this challenge, the
authors have explained practice and theory together in as concise a
format as possible. This Abridged Edition focuses primarily upon
consumer bankruptcy since the vast majority of bankruptcy cases are
filed as consumer Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 cases.
