Additional Resources
General Resources
Bloomberg Law, Lexis+, and Westlaw provide additional resources such as practice guides and practical guidance notes. Practice guides explain the mechanics of filing, deadlines, and common mistakes. These additional resources often include forms, checklists, and other tools to guide bankruptcy law research and practice.
- Bankruptcy Form Finder (Westlaw): A resource that provides links to bankruptcy-related forms.
- Bankruptcy Practice Center (Bloomberg Law): A practice guide that provides links to bankruptcy forms, checklists, cases, and other resources.
- Collier Bankruptcy Practice Guide (Lexis+): A strategic and procedural bankruptcy law practice guide that coincides with Collier on Bankruptcy.
- Collier Consumer Bankruptcy Practice Guide (Lexis+): A transaction-based practice guide that provides a detailed discussion and step-by-step analysis of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy cases.
Chapter 7 Resources
- Individual Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Overview (Westlaw)
- Practical Guidance: Introduction to Chapter 7 (Bloomberg Law)
- Understanding the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Means Test (Westlaw)

Chapter 13 Resources
For Practitioners & Students
- Annotated Mini Code & Mini Rules Book (AWHFY)
This is an excellent resource that includes the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; select provisions from Title 18, Title 28, and the Internal Revenue Code; the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure; and the Federal Rules of Evidence. It is an invaluable resource for students and practitioners alike (and AWHFY has historically given a student discount).
