George Mason and Todd Zywicki Shopping Problem in Bankruptcy

http://lbnnews.com

His new paper, The New Forum Shopping Problem in Bankruptcy, is scheduled for publication in the Federalists Societys Engage this week. In this paper, Professor Zywicki explains how the notoriety of the Marshall v. Marshall case extends beyond its celebrity scandals. If the Bankruptcy Court's decision is allowed to stand, it could set a precedent for rampant forum-shopping by dissatisfied parties seeking a more favorable resolution of claims in federal bankruptcy court than that to which they would be entitled under state law.




Todd J. Zywicki is a law professor at George Mason University where he teaches in the areas of bankruptcy and contracts. Professor Zywicki is the author of more than 30 articles in leading law reviews and economics journals. He has testified before Congress on bankruptcy reform issues and is a frequent commentator in the print and broadcast media.
