The American
Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) recently assembled the Commission on Consumer
Bankruptcy, which is exploring innovations that can be implemented within the
existing structure of the Bankruptcy Code. As it works toward publishing a
report in December 2018, the Commission welcomes the input of practitioners and
academics. The January 2018 meeting of the Debtors' and Creditors' Rights
Section is therefore a well-timed opportunity to assess what the academic
literature can contribute to the Commission's deliberations. Members of the
Commission will join the Section meeting.
