Provides material so students can "answer" problems (to the extent the problems have answers). Materials on traditional state collection remedies are reduced, while materials on Chapter 11 are expanded. New chapters deal with single-asset real estate bankruptcy cases, compare workouts with Chapter 11, survey the liability of third parties, such as sureties, insiders, and issuers of letters of credit, and examine the liability of lenders to the debtor to other lenders and to the government under a variety of theories ranging from breach of participations agreements to environmental accountability.

Black Letter Outline on Payments Law (Black Letter Outlines)

The materials are organized so that you can teach a three or four hour course that (i) emphasizes consumer bankruptcy or (ii) emphasizes business bankruptcy or (iii) covers both. Three of the authors are award-winning teachers. Three of the authors are experienced bankruptcy practitioners. Two of the authors are now bankruptcy judges. All of the authors share the sole "agenda" of teaching materials that prepare students to be effective and ethical lawyers. The materials include a substantial amount of original text, severely edited leading and illustrative cases, Bankruptcy Code excerpts, and, most important, "learning problems." Epstein, Markell, Nickles and Perris believe that second and third year law students learn best by doing, and that students are more willing to "do" problems that are realistic, interesting, and answerable (to the extent that there are answers) with materials available in the book.

This law school casebook is about secured debt deals. It asks questions such as whether to do a secured debt deal, documenting the deal, and resolving deal problems. The book is organized around the "life cycle" of deals, which helps students understand why Article 9 concepts matter and how Article 9 works. The book covers principles and principal problem areas rather than all particulars of perfection and priority rules. It includes edited, relevant Article 9 provisions throughout the book, right next to the problems and cases and original text.

It has been thoroughly updated to deal with the issues of most importance to business bankruptcy lawyers today. It has been particularly strengthened to deal with the avoiding powers, such as the power to deal with fraudulent transfers and with preferences. In light of current developments, a case involving a Ponzi scheme is included.
