Description
This is the only bankruptcy casebook with two co-authors who not only teach bankruptcy but serve as bankruptcy judges. Together, the four co-authors have taught bankruptcy courses at more than 20 very different law schools. Drawing on this experience, they have prepared original text, problems, and edited cases with three goals in mind: (1) introduce students to one new bankruptcy concept at a time, (2) show students the connection among the various concepts and (3) give the students a sense of how these bankruptcy concepts are used not only in bankruptcy cases but also in transactions.For more information and additional teaching materials, visit the companion site.

Seriously the worst legal text book I've ever been forced to use for class. If you are a bankruptcy professor considering using this textbook for your class, please do yourself and your students a favor and find a different book.1. Typos. There are AT LEAST one typo per page in this book. Somehow the editors forgot the difference between a period and a comma because they are used interchangeably probably a hundred times. Not to mention the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code that are reproduced in the textbook INCORRECTLY (which is especially bad for a Code-based legal system such as bankruptcy in which a simple "and" "or" mix up can be huge). My best guess is that the authors dictated this book to their respective secretaries, and the revision process ended there. Some may think typos aren't a big deal, but the frequency of them makes reading this book SO disjointing that it is nearly impossible to sit and read a section without having to re-read and re-read sentences because they just don't make sense. (See attached picture for an example.)2. Poor humor. It is horribly ironic that the first sentence of this textbook is footnoted with a snarky comment directed toward the author's high school English teacher about getting to use sentence fragments in his own book, since the rest of the book is so poorly written. The joke doesn't really come off when the rest of the book reads as if it were actually written by a high school student. The number of bad jokes in this book are too numerous to say much more on.3. Lack of explanation. The method of this book is terrible. It basically goes as such: "This section of bankruptcy is difficult to understand. Stupid joke. Inaccurate reproduction of the relevant Code section. Problem." The authors fail to give a useful plain-language discussion of any Code section. To be sure, there is text, it's just not very helpful.4. Inconsistency. The book is made up of cases, problems, and review questions. But it is very disjointed. There will randomly be three pages of review questions after a case that introduce new material, while after some cases there will conspicuously be zero review questions or notes. And don't get me started on the problems. My professor would assign, for example, Unit 9 problems 1 through 3. Sure enough, there are two Problem 9-3's. And it happens more than once.I'm sure these authors are great lawyers and professors, but it feels like they didn't put much effort into writing and, more importantly, editing this book. Perhaps I should be more disappointed in West Publishing because, really, they should know better.
