American Bankruptcy Law Journal
The American Bankruptcy Law Journal (ABLJ) focuses on current issues in bankruptcy law and its intersection with broader legal themes. The journal features scholarly articles, symposia, and interviews from experts, exploring topics like bankruptcy exceptionalism, the role of bankruptcy in the legal system, and emerging trends. The Winter 2024 issue, for example, includes perspectives on the role of bankruptcy law, minimalism in corporate reorganizations, and non-bankruptcy issues in consumer cases. It aims to contribute meaningful discussions to the evolving field of bankruptcy law.
