The American Bankruptcy Institute has a new “Bankruptcy Townhall” section on its website that collects material on bankruptcy issues of the day. Right now they are featuring a debate on bankruptcy v. bailout of the automobile makers.
More generally, I’ve found the ABI’s website (abiworld.org) to be an excellent resource for bankruptcy news. Also, students who are interested in practicing bankruptcy law should know that they can join the ABI for a reduced rate. Check for info on the website or check with your school’s bankruptcy professor for information.
