Bankruptcy And Debtor/creditor: Examples And Explanations
I am an experienced lawyer and regularly read books (usually one-volume treatises) outside my practice area. Comprehensive books on bankruptcy are hard to find, and I purchased Blum’s for lack of any alternative. The book is well organized, clearly written, and contains a lot of information. Even the attempts at humor are generally successful.
To offer some unsolicited advice to law students, I don’t recommend using this or any supplementary texts in your courses. Stick with the casebook and other materials the instructor assigns. It may seem as if this requires more effort to learn the subject than is warranted, but you won’t regret it. You’ll never have the time once you start working to reread and think about cases that you have while in school. That 3 years may seem like a long time, but if you take it seriously you will benefit significantly throughout your career. It is surprising how often I encounter exprienced lawyers who are ignorant of matters I learned in law school (now long past) and still remember.

The author did a good job organizing the information in this book.
I would also recommend Surviving Financial Disasters by Tiffany R. Love which comes with a CD ROM and actual sample court documents from someone who has been there and done that. Also tells what to expect after you filed your papers.

While all E&E’s are great, this one was particularly helpful if a professor decides to just use a case book that didn’t have a good editor or a professor who just prints off cases for the class to look at while working problems with the class. While this method is helpful on the exam, it isn’t so helpful for understanding the material at home if you missed a class or just didn’t understand the explanation in class. This is why this E&E, with the 2005 changes, is so particularly helpful.

This book is the kind of book that you need to get at the beginning of the semester and read along with your text book, as a supplement. I got this with about a month left in the semester, and a horrible time wading through this book. I can see the value of getting it much earlier in the semester, however, as it did have valuable insight into the bankruptcy code.
If you’re getting a book nearer the end of the semester, I recommend the Glannon Guide to Bankruptcy (same publishers), as it laid it all out much simpler. It broke everything down into easy 10 page chapters, used charts, and had mini quizzes at the end of every chapter. I just found it much more user friendly. Just make sure you get the Glannon’s Guide to Bankruptcy that has the 2005 changes.
