Scholarly Works
This article is the first in a series of articles discussing the problem of conflicts of interest in bankruptcy cases. It argues that the traditional means for discovering and handling conflicts of interest - based on state-law ethics rules - fundamentally misconceives the problem in a bankruptcy context.

The article proposes a possible method of handling potential conflicts of interest in bankruptcy cases.
