Bankruptcy Law Reform

One year to the day after sweeping reforms to the bankruptcy law were put into effect, we look at how well the changes have worked, who was impacted and if the law did what it was supposed to do- cut back on unecessary filings and abuses of the system. Laura's guests are Raef Granger, an attorney who runs his own practice in Manchester, covering a variety of legal matters, including bankruptcy, and Todd Zywicki, Professor of Law at George Mason University School of Law and Senior Fellow of the James Buchanan Center, Program on Politics, Philosophy and Economics at George Mason University. He was also recently named as a member of the United States Department of Justice Study Group on "Identifying Fraud, Abuse and Errors in the United States Bankruptcy System."
