Warren (law, Harvard U.) and Westbrook (law, U. of Texas) believe they have updated this edition with current practice and law while maintaining their intent to make debtor-creditor law lively, interesting and intellectually challenging. They use a systematic approach that combines explanatory text with case studies and examples of business and consumer situations. They cover individual debt collection in terms of collection without courts and state law debt collection, consumer bankruptcy such as liquidation bankruptcy and bankruptcy under Chapter 13, business bankruptcy in terms of liquidation and reorganization, and the functions and boundaries of bankruptcy law in domestic jurisdiction and trans-national bankruptcies. They include extensive tables of cases and statutes and a range of problem sets for each section. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
