The Bankruptcy Deskbook provides both analysis and practical guidance regarding consumer and corporate bankruptcy. This newly updated treatise spans all aspects of the process, such as jurisdictional issues, automatic stays, avoidance powers, distribution of property, and appeals.  

Highlights of the update include: 

• Chapter 2, Jurisdiction and Related Topics, provides a discussion of the Supreme Court’s clarification on the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, including the finding that the doctrine bars federal suits seeking review of state-court judgments, regardless of the finality of the judgments; it also includes the dissenting justices’ opinion that the doctrine could be constrained in the future 

• Chapter 6, Avoidance Powers, covers the Supreme Court’s holding that the Takings Clause doesn’t require government to sell property at fair market value in the case of tax foreclosure 

• Chapter 14, Litigation and Appeals, discusses the Supreme Court’s signal that judicial estoppel has been overapplied in undisclosed claims of bankruptcy
