BAPCPA Background

For more background on the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (aka BAPCPA), read Professor Elizabeth Warren’s testimony to Congress (Feb. 10, 2005) and testimony by Professor Todd Zywicki (Feb. 10, 2005).  Also a range of helpful coverage and commentary on the debate, impact and effects of BAPCPA on Creditslips.org along with some of the continued debate between the perspectives of Professor Warren and Professor Zywicki here, here and here.

Bankruptcy Lawyer Blogs on BAPCPA

From the bankruptcy lawyer blog circuit, helpful posts on court interpretations of BAPCPA so far by Jordan E. Bublick, Esq. at South Florida Bankruptcy Law Blog, including a summary of the two schools of thought on BAPCPA by bankruptcy courts.   A post by Craig Robins, Esq. on LongIslandBankruptcyBlog about the evolving criticisms of the new bankruptcy law as of 2006.  Additional commentary on bankruptcy as a social safety net by Bruce Weiner, Esq. of Rosenberg, Musso & Weiner (Brooklyn, NY) on NYBankruptcyNet.  And a reflective look back at the passage of BAPCPA by Dave Krieger, Esq. of Haines & Krieger (Las Vegas, NV).

Before we publish the next BAPCPA Man cartoon strip, we thought those of you with children, godchildren, nephews, nieces,  and/or paleontologists in your life might like to know about Dino Pets, the wonderfully illustrated children’s book written by Lynn Plourde and illustrated by Bankruptcy Bill’s very own Gideon Kendall.

Dino Pets can be purchased at bookstores as well as via Amazon.com and at www.gideonkendall.com.

We’re a little delayed getting out the next Bankruptcy Bill strip, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to let everyone know about other illustration work by Gideon Kendall, available on Amazon.com.  Promoting Dinopets and The Caveman’s Pregnancy Companion:  A Survival Guide for Expecting Fathers will also hopefully help Gid avoid becoming more intimate with BAPCPA than necessary.
