Author Description

Carry it with you to court or use as a quick and accessible reference. This annually-updated compendium includes the most current updates, cases, and changes to the Bankruptcy Code, Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure incorporated in the Bankruptcy Rules, and Federal Rles of Evidence. Updated annually, this valuable, quick desk reference is useful for lawyers who deal with bankruptcy issues, whether a general practitioner representing an occasional Chapter 13 debtor or the seasoned lawyer whose practice is almost exclusively bankruptcy-related. This compendium features easy-to-use page tabs and complete, useful keyword indices to guide you straight to material relevant to your case. The 2025 edition covers important changes to Bankruptcy Code covering reductions in the temporarily increased caps for subchapter V Chapter 11 cases and Chapter 13 cases. Another major change was that all Bankruptcy Rules were restyled to reflect the more modern usage. Additionally, a new Bankruptcy Rules 8023.1 was added and Bankruptcy Rules 1007, 4004, 5009, 7001, and 9006 were amended. A summary of interesting cases that were decided during the past year is included.
