Bundle includes Problems and Materials on Debtor and Creditor Law, Eighth Edition. This straightforward, student-friendly book combines a popular problems approach with a well-balanced mix of text and cases to build a down-to-earth, nuts-and-bolts introduction to the Bankruptcy Code, statutory rules, and policies of bankruptcy law. Its sensible organization allows instructors to tailor coverage to their own approach. It can easily be used “out of the box,” assigned in its entirety in a standard bankruptcy survey course, but it can also be supplemented or modified for any particular areas of interest. It includes more than 200 straightforward problems illustrating every essential aspect of bankruptcy law, and features numerous diagrams bringing financial concepts to life for all types of learners.

Bankruptcy and Article 9: 2026 Statutory Supplement is an essential reference resource for bankruptcy and secured transactions courses that is smaller, lighter, and more portable than competing supplements. The supplement includes the entirety of UCC Articles 1, 9, and 12, as well as key excerpts from UCC Articles 2 and 8. For a bankruptcy course, the supplement also contains the federal Bankruptcy Code, select provisions from the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the bankruptcy crimes provisions from title 18 of the United States Code, and the bankruptcy jurisdictional provisions from title 28. Other statutes important for secured transactions are included, such as the Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and Anti-Theft Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Federal Tax Lien Act.
