Overview

This is a short but thorough summary of consumer bankruptcy law. As said by chapter 7 Trustee Wes Avery, Professor Hayes explains very nicely the technical and complex language of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules in plain English. The book is intended to be a practical, but sufficiently theoretical guide to the nuts and bolts of bankruptcy. It provides the basics to the lawyer or law student new to bankruptcy. The book is supported with 403 footnotes which focus largely on the 9th Circuit and California Law.
