Course Description
This course examines corporate bankruptcy. We study the principal provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (automatic stay, claims valuation, powers of the debtor in possession, reorganization, etc.) as well as laws governing non-bankruptcy workouts. We do not spend time discussing issues specific to consumer bankruptcies. While the class primarily focuses on bankruptcy law, we will also complete one or more business school case studies to understand how stakeholders use valuation methods to argue for a larger share of the payout in a bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy workout.
