Introduction

Bankruptcy law is designed to protect those who owe money, and those to whom it is owed.

Therefore, whether you are the debtor, or the creditor, you need to have a basic understanding of the rules and procedures which control the bankruptcy process. The main statute for bankruptcy law is the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Code itself is organized into chapters, the most well known are Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13, which are the different types of bankruptcy proceedings.

Our introductory materials will provide basic information regarding the process, our monthly columns deal with specific issues in greater detail. If that is not enough, or if you can't find the information you are looking for, ask a question in the discussion forum, or email our staff.
