This topic instructs individuals who are responsible for completing legal tasks in bankruptcy cases regarding how to understand the process required for successful discharge in each of the bankruptcy chapters. This material also explains critical strategies that can be deployed by each of the parties to a bankruptcy to represent the best interests of clients. This information is critical for legal professionals so that they can gain a comprehensive understanding of bankruptcy, and can ensure that they are providing the highest quality representation to their bankruptcy clients.
