Welcome to the on-line Bankruptcy course

Professor Bill Boyd - author

Each "course" consists of an ordering of the major events in each of
the three most important types of bankruptcy proceedings and the law governing
at each stage of each proceeding. Expert commentary is included where
appropriate. The major events are represented graphically by "icons" that
indicate whether an event is a filing, an action of some kind, a hearing (or
meeting), litigation or an adjudicatory proceeding. The events are joined by
arrows that show the usual chronological order in which the events occur. To
"plumb" the governing law and commentary, it is necessary only to click on an
icon and then, to the extent desired, on highlighted words or phrases of text
that are connected to still more law or commentary. The graphical
representation of the events and their order of occurrence is intended to
present a "picture" of the bankruptcy process associated with a particular
chapter proceeding. The "hypermedia" links allow a learner-user to examine
the bankruptcy process at increasingly greater levels of detail in the context
of an organizational framework that aids understanding.
To view study a particular type of proceeding, click on the arrow
icon adjacent to the chapter title of your choice.
