Professor Jeff Ferriell and Brooklyn Law School Professor Ted Janger have published the second edition of Understanding Bankruptcy as part of the LexisNexis series of law school hornbooks. Some alumni will recognize the name of Ferriell’s co-author – Professor Janger; Janger was a visiting faculty member at Capital in 1994-95.
Understanding Bankruptcy provides a basic introduction to bankruptcy and related state debtor/creditor law. It is designed for use primarily by law students taking a course in Creditors’ Rights, a course in basic Bankruptcy Law or an advanced course in Chapter 11 Reorganizations. It was designed to be equally useful for bankruptcy lawyers seeking a comprehensive single-volume guide to bankruptcy law. Understanding Bankruptcy has been called the “go-to book for students and lawyers alike.” It includes coverage of the 2005 changes to the bankruptcy code, and provides a detailed explanation of the Bankruptcy Code’s new “means testing” rules. Harvard bankruptcy law professor Elizabeth Warren, one of the nation’s top bankruptcy scholars, called it “clear, comprehensive, and clever.” Copies are available for $37 at the Capital University Law School Bookstore or directly from LexisNexis at http://bookstore.lexis.com/bookstore/product/10738.html.
Understanding Bankruptcy is the second law school hornbook in the “Understanding Series” that Ferriell has written. In 2004, Ferriell, and the late Professor Mike Navin of Dickinson Law School, published Understanding Contracts. Ferriell is currently working on the second edition of Understanding Contracts, which is expected to be published by LexisNexis in 2009. Ferriell is also the author of the two-volume book Ohio Commercial Code, published in 1996 by Banks-Baldwin, as part of its Ohio Practice series, and other articles and book chapters on bankruptcy jurisdiction and procedure.
Ferriell has been a member of Capital’s law faculty since 1987. He also has taught at Illinois, Santa Clara, San Diego, Ohio Northern, and Ohio State, where he sometimes teaches as an adjunct professor.
