Overview

Problems in the Code, the second in a digital series known as ABI Briefs, offers commentary from leading bankruptcy practitioners regarding areas of the Bankruptcy Code that, in their opinion, need reform. Edited by Howard Brod Brownstein, Problems in the Code includes sections on Constitutional law, executory contracts, intellectual property, real estate and environmental issues, and confirmation and post-confirmation issues. A final chapter details the work of the ABI Commission to Study the Reform of Chapter 11.
