Behavioral Economics, The Economic Analysis Of Bankruptcy Law And The Pricing Of Credit, Robert K. Rasmussen
Behavioral Economics, The Economic Analysis Of Bankruptcy Law And The Pricing Of Credit, Robert K. Rasmussen
Vanderbilt Law Review
Bankruptcy has been a fertile ground for the economic analysis of law. A significant portion of bankruptcy scholarship during the past fifteen years applies the basic assumptions of standard economic theory to the problems caused by financial distress. This scholarship begins with the premise that people make choices in a rational manner in order to maximize their individual utility. It applies this axiom to questions ranging from when do individuals file for bankruptcy to how bankruptcy laws affect firms' investment decisions. As it has in most other areas of law (especially private law), law and economics has both reshaped our …

Re-Reading Reading: "Fairness To All Persons" In The Context Of Administrative Expense Priority For Postpetition Punitive Fines In Bankruptcy, Stephen D. Hurd
Vanderbilt Law Review
Who gets the money when there isn't enough to go around? This is the practical question that the bankruptcy system seeks to answer every day.' In answering this question, the Bankruptcy Code draws a particularly bright line at the filing of a bankruptcy petition. The filing of a petition creates the bankruptcy estate, which is a distinct legal entity from the debtor. Creditors with claims against the debtor arising before filing ("prepetition) receive payment of their claim, if at all, through bankruptcy's collective distribution scheme. In contrast, persons whose claims arose after filing ("postpetition"), but before completion of the bankruptcy …

Bankruptcy, W. Homer Drake Jr., Michael M. Duclos
Mercer Law Review
Unlike past years when the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit issued a tremendous number of bankruptcy decisions each term, 1997 turned out to be a very quiet year because the Eleventh Circuit issued only eight opinions addressing matters arising under the Bankruptcy Code. This Article is a survey of those 1997 bankruptcy decisions.

How Should Property Be Valued In A Cram Down?, Mark E. Beatty
How Should Property Be Valued In A Cram Down?, Mark E. Beatty
Mercer Law Review
One of the most intriguing topics in bankruptcy law is the valuation of property in cram down cases, specifically Chapter 13 cases. This article will first present and discuss the different methods of valuation employed by the circuit courts before Associates Commercial Corp. v. Rash (Rash III) was decided by the Supreme Court and the reasoning behind these methods. The next section will discuss the opinion in Rash and the chosen method of valuation in Chapter 13 cram down cases. The third section will discuss the implications of the decision in Rash. The Article will conclude with …

The Boiling Pot Of Lawyer Conflicts In Bankruptcy, Charles W. Wolfram
The Boiling Pot Of Lawyer Conflicts In Bankruptcy, Charles W. Wolfram
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
I take up here only two modest pieces of the current puzzle of lawyer conflicts of interest in bankruptcy practice. One involves the decision of the American Law Institute (hereinafter "ALI") to sidestep the entire field in the course of drafting its Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers (hereinafter "Restatement"). The other involves the decision of the National Bankruptcy Review Commission (hereinafter "NBRC") to refuse to recommend that Congress do anything at all major to disturb existing law in the same realm. Either the law of lawyer conflicts in bankruptcy has been blessed in its present state by two prestigious …
The Theory, Reality, And Pragmatism Of Corporate Governance In Bankruptcy Reorganizations, Christopher W. Frost
The Theory, Reality, And Pragmatism Of Corporate Governance In Bankruptcy Reorganizations, Christopher W. Frost
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Governing a corporation during a Chapter 11 reorganization presents a special case of the age-old problem of the separation of ownership and control. Critics of Chapter 11 have long pointed to the insulation provided by the automatic stay to managers of the business as one of the causes of bankruptcy inefficiency. Protected from the normal contractual and market forces that restrain the behavior of managers of healthy companies, managers of firms in bankruptcy, the harshest critics charge, use delay and other strategies to enrich themselves and the shareholders at the expense of the firm's creditors.
This Article addresses the financial …

Don't Go And Do Something Rash About Cram Down Interest Rates, David G. Epstein
Law Faculty Publications
This Article considers the second and different question of how to value the proposed payments under the plan. While the question of how to value the proposed payments under the plan is different from the question of how to value the creditor's security interest in property, there is a connection between the answers to the questions. The value of the payments must at least equal the value of the security interest.

The Past And Future Of Kentucky's Fraudulent Transfer And Preference Laws, Douglas C. Michael
The Past And Future Of Kentucky's Fraudulent Transfer And Preference Laws, Douglas C. Michael
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
An important part of the law of creditors' remedies is the ability of creditors to recover property formerly held by the debtor, but transferred to others under circumstances that are considered to be unfair or inequitable. There are two principal ways a creditor can seek to have a debtor's transfer characterized as unfair in order to recover it. First, a transfer to another creditor or a third party can be fraudulent as to one or all of the remaining creditors, or may be deemed to be fraudulent because of the circumstances surrounding the transfer, such as a transfer made by …

What do camcorders, walkman players, personal computers, stereo components, firearms, chain saws, lawn and garden tools, bicycles, and video game machines have in common?
Well, they are all the things one might find in the typical American home. Although not necessarily cheap to buy new, such items generally do not retain value over time. They frequently serve as collateral for nonpurchase money loans. In a bankruptcy context, they share another characteristic; courts have had to decide if they are household goods such that a debtor is able to avoid a nonpossessory, nonpurchase money security interest in them. Indeed, over 270 …

This article is the first of a two-part series in which Professor Gebbia-Pinetti considers how the complexities of state sovereign immunity apply to bankruptcy actions. The present article lays the foundation by analyzing the source, scope, and nature of states' immunity from suits filed in federal court to enforce state and federal law. This includes a discussion of traditional sovereign immunity, Eleventh Amendment immunity, abrogation of immunity, and the Supreme Court's decision in Seminole Tribe v. Florida. The second article will consider the extent to which the bankruptcy estate may enforce Bankruptcy Code actions against the states, notwithstanding state sovereign …

Introduction:The emerging mathematical discipline of "fuzzy logic" has recently sparked dramatic efficiencies in modern industrial processes while inviting comparisons to the age-old philosophies of Taoism and Zen. As concepts of "fuzziness" have filtered from technical journals to popular science magazines to trade paperbacks, they have begun to appear in legal commentaries as well.
