Bankruptcy

3 units

After a brief overview of state debtor-creditor law, this course will cover federal bankruptcy law. The majority of class time will be spent working through actual cases which do not appear in the text but assume an understanding of the reading material for that class and require an application of the Bankruptcy Code provisions which were discussed in the reading material. The course will begin with coverage of individual bankruptcies and conclude with selected issues associated with business bankruptcies. Participation and preparation will be required. Classes will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Since this course is three credits and classes are 75 minutes, classroom sessions will end the first week of November. There will be a two-hour examination that will be administered during the regularly scheduled exam period. 3 units.
