More about Law of Debtors and Creditors: Text, Cases, and Problems, Eighth Edition, one of the leading casebooks in the field, The Law of Debtors and Creditors features 39 problem sets with realistic questions a lawyer considers in managing a bankruptcy case. It also challenges the students with the major policy and theoretical questions in the field. The text features a functional organization as a bankruptcy case would unfold. The focus is on teaching through the realistic problems, complete with ethical difficulties embedded into the fact patterns. The presentation is lively and colloquial. Explanatory text throughout makes bankruptcy law accessible to students and easier to teach. Because it divides the subject between consumer and business bankruptcy, professors can select the depth of coverage for each subject in designing a two-, three-, or four-credit class. The authors—Senator Elizabeth Warren, Congresswoman Katie Porter, and Professors Pottow (Michigan) and Westbrook (Texas)—are among the most prominent in the field. Uniquely comprehensive Teacher’s Manual—chock full of material on how to design class around the problem sets, citations to new cases and literature, and suggestions for steering class discussion.

Bundle also includes Bankruptcy and Article 9: 2025 Statutory Supplement, which 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 has 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 a commercial law course are included: Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Voidable Transactions Act, Uniform Motor Vehicle Certificate of Title and Anti-Theft Act, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, and Federal Tax Lien Act.
