Welcome!

Since the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevenstion and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA") was passed on April 20, 2005, there has been much discussion about how several of its provisions will be implemented. Much of that discussion suggests that some of the amendments may be something less than a model of clarity. A few provisions went into effect immediately, while many others became effective 180 days after passage - October 17, 2005. This blog will follow and report on how the BAPCPA Amendments are being interpreted by the courts.
