The overview of the substantive law of bankruptcy and insights into why the law provides what is does is followed by a discussion of the written and unwritten rules of procedure in how the law is implemented. The reader is then guided through the maze of bankruptcy practice using such tools as timelines, checklists and aids for analysis. The book concludes with a test of knowledge through hands-on experience in performing tasks that are common in actual practice.
