Third Anniversary of BAPCPA

As a Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney there is usually not much to get excited about in day to day practice. Bankruptcy filings are up because the economy is in the toilet and property values are falling faster than John McCain's popularity. We still don't know what Senator Obama will do if elected because he won't answer any questions directly. The Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, U.S. Treasury, Henry Paulson, FDIC, Sheila Bair, White House, Senate, House of Representatives and the President are making plans to spend enough money that could fill the Grand Canyon.

So, it comes as no surprise that the Third Anniversary of the Bankruptcy Code re-write will come and go without much excitement. For three years, practitioners have been muddling their way through the new code trying to make sense of it all, and it has not been easy.

Many of the problems associated with the new code have not been hashed out. For more articles on this topic see Bankruptcy Law Network.
