Debtors' & Creditors' Rights Professor Gerber Fall 2010 -- Course Information and First Assignment Text: The text for this course is the on-line casebook that you will find by pointing your browser to our Debtors & Creditors Rights page on BLSconnect. You will find the reading assignments under Shared Documents. I will bring copies of the syllabus, the first assignment, and the Statutory Supplement to our first class. If, however, you cant stand the suspense, you can download the first assignment (see below) from the website. . Statute: (1) You need a copy of the United States Bankruptcy Code. I have asked the bookstore to stock a supply of the Collier edition of the Code. If youve taken a commercial law course you may already have a copy of the Code, in your commercial law anthology. If so, you dont need to buy another one. From time to time we will also be referring to the photocopied "Statutory Supplement" that accompanies the first assignment. It includes, for your convenience, relevant sections of the New York Debtor Creditor Law, Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR), Insurance Law, and Real Property Law.

First Assignment: Introduction - Enforcement of Money Judgments - Problem Set No. 1 This is the first assignment, but we will not get to it until our second class meeting. For that class, please review the provisions of the New York CPLR that are contained in the statutory supplement. Pay particular attention to CPLR 5201, 5202, 5203, 5230, 5231, 5232, and 5234. Use these sections to analyze the questions in Problem Set No. 1.
