both debtor and creditor perspectives. It also includes the most
recent changes to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, effective
December 1st 2009, as
well as links to official websites where the latest developments may be
found. The second edition provides invaluable official and
procedural forms as well as relevant bankruptcy statutes.

comprehensive changes in the Bankruptcy Law in recent
years. The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention

the substantive changes to consumer bankruptcy law, particularly as it
pertains to individuals seeking relief from debt under either chapter 7
or chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Consumer
Bankruptcy, Second Edition is authored by Susan Jensen-Lachmann who previously co-authored
the first edition of this book with the Honorable Jeremiah E.
Berk. Susan Jensen-Lachmann is counsel to the Committee on the
Judiciary of the U.S. House of Representatives, where she is primarily
responsible for bankruptcy and commercial
legislation. Ms. Jensen-Lachmann is
also the author of law review articles and contributed to various
treatises on bankruptcy law and practice.
