Bankruptcy, Just For The Rich? An Analysis Of Popular Fee Arrangements For Pre-Petition Legal Fees And A Call To Amend, Kerry H. Ducey

Vanderbilt Law Review

The scenario is typical. An individual sits amid a pile of overdue bills. He calculates and recalculates only to verify what he has already suspected-his debt far exceeds his monthly income. Meanwhile, creditors and collection agencies demand payment while threatening repossession and other legal action. With no ready source of additional income, the debtor ultimately decides to file for bankruptcy. He consults an attorney, and the two agree to file a consumer no-asset Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition.' The lawyer then promises to use her best efforts to secure relief for the debtor. All she needs is a retainer. A retainer? …

The Failure Of Public Company Bankruptcies In Delaware And New York: Empirical Evidence Of A "Race To The Bottom", Lynn M. Lopucki, Sara D. Kalin

Vanderbilt Law Review

Commentators sometimes recognize Delaware's preeminence in corporate law, but they almost invariably treat Delaware's recent popularity as a bankruptcy venue choice as raising entirely different issues. In fact, the two are integrally related. Specifically, just as the efforts of Delaware and other states to attract corporations--a process often referred to as "charter competition'-has induced Delaware to regulate corporate law in a generally efficient manner, the same forces will have a beneficial effect on Delaware's bankruptcy judges

Is International Bankruptcy Possible?, Frederick Tung

Michigan Journal of International Law

Although international business firms proliferate, there is no international bankruptcy system. Instead, bankruptcy law remains a matter for individual states.

In the discourse over the appropriate design for an international bankruptcy system, universalism has long held sway as the dominant idea, embraced nearly universally by bankruptcy scholars.

Under universalism, the bankruptcy regime of the debtor firm's home country would govern worldwide, enjoying global reach to treat all of the debtor's assets and …
