With the substantial revisions to the consumer bankruptcy law in 2005, there was a real need for a new book for paralegals and others handling these cases. Martin Frey and Phyllis Hurley put a great deal of work into this book and it shows. Kudo's. For readers looking for a good introduction to Business Reorganizatons under Chapter 11, I also like Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers
