Customer Reviews

Best law book I've had in school

In law school, textbooks are generally written, edited, and typeset to be uniformly hard to read. This book, on the other hand, is lucid and interesting as well as covering the important parts of case and statutory law. It's well-organized, and the font and line spacing make it easy on the eyes and comprehensible during late-night studying. For the first time in law school, I found myself reading weeks ahead of the syllabus just for the enjoyment of reading. If all law books were this good, JDs would learn a lot more in school.

Working With It

Prof. Warren is quite well respected. Some students rate this as a great case book. Others really dislike it. If the book is assigned to you buy it and work with it. You can always supplement the book with other books that people find helpful. For an introduction to Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations, I recommend Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers. If you course will also cover other forms of bankrutptcy, I would also purchase Bankruptcy And Debtor/creditor: Examples And Explanations (Examples & Explanations).

More engaging than my teacher.

As a student, this was probably the best textbook I've ever used. The authors presented the material in an engaging way that brings out the relevance, controversy, and centrality of creditor/debtor/bankruptcy law in the life of almost every American. I never thought I'd say this about a textbook, but it's a great read.
