The New Rawlsian Theory of Bankruptcy Ethics

Authors

Mary Josephine Newborn, University of San Diego School of Law

Abstract

Bankruptcy law was once considered a rather insular sub-specialty of commercial law. Bankruptcy scholars of an earlier time devoted their energies to drafting bankruptcy legislation, mastering its particulars, and systematizing the case law. When these scholars attempted to locate larger themes in bankruptcy, they labored with great deference to positive expressions of bankruptcy's purpose.
