Epic Fail: An Institutional Analysis Of Financial Distress, Jonathan C. Lipson
Epic Fail: An Institutional Analysis Of Financial Distress, Jonathan C. Lipson
Jonathan C. Lipson
This paper presents an institutional analysis of financial distress. “Institutional analysis” compares the effectiveness of large-scale processes, such as markets, courts, and governments, at solving social problems. Although financial distress is one of our most acute problems, there has been virtually no effort to analyze it from an institutional perspective. This paper begins to fill that gap.
Institutional analysis shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, financial distress is not a problem that courts, such as bankruptcy courts, usually solve by themselves. Instead, it is increasingly a problem that political organs (whether elected or regulatory) both create and purport to resolve. …

Incorporating Social Justice Concerns Into The New Law And Development Movement: The Importance Of Insolvency Law, Julia M. Davis Ms.
Julia M Davis Ms.
This paper focuses on insolvency law as an underutilized area for incorporating social justice concerns into legal reform projects in developing countries. Insolvency is an area of law that already plays a large role in legal development projects and is especially suited for incorporating social justice concerns because of its ability to redistribute wealth and safeguard vulnerable interests. In arguing that insolvency law should be better exploited by social justice advocates this paper briefly reviews the history and literature surrounding the “Legal Development Movement” (LDM) and discusses the responsibilities of development agencies to incorporate social justice concerns into economically-focused legal …

The Scorecard So Far: Emerging Issues In Cross-Border Insolvencies Under Chapter 15 Of The U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Megan R. O'Flynn
The Scorecard So Far: Emerging Issues In Cross-Border Insolvencies Under Chapter 15 Of The U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Megan R. O'Flynn
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code was modeled after the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, drafted by the United Nations Commission on International Trade and Law (UNCITRAL) in 1997. Despite the relatively small number of cases commenced in U.S. Courts under Chapter 15 since its adoption, no other section of the current Bankruptcy Code has broader implications for international business transactions and global foreign business relations than the provisions of Chapter 15. Moreover, since the United States has long been an innovator at the forefront of international insolvency law, interpretation of key provisions of the Chapter and related UNCITRAL …
