Bankruptcy Flashcards

What is Bankruptcy?

There’s always been an important question that intrigues us whenever someone borrows money from us. “Are we gonna get it back?”

What happens when someone can’t pay his/her loans and debts?  What can provide immediate relief from the efforts of certain creditors to collect payments? Well, there exist a system called bankruptcy. In the US, bankruptcy governs the duties and the rights of a debtor when he can’t pay to his creditors. It also oversees the remedies and the rights available to them.

Bankruptcy Law is concerned with the process of declaring bankruptcy, determining what and what cannot be done to pay off debts, and the consequences to both creditors and consumers/business owners.

Classes in this subject are typically offered to political science students and licensed lawyers, especially those who are studying for a Masters Degree in Law and Juris Doctors.

Jobs related to an education in Bankruptcy Law include Bankruptcy Lawyer (of course!), Legal and Paralegal Assistant, Hearing Officers, Legal Secretary, Office Assistant/Clerk, and Court Administrator, to name a few.
