The Intractable Problem of Bankruptcy Ethics: Square Peg, Round Hole

Nancy B. Rapoport, University of Houston Law Center (moving to Boyd School of Law, Univ of Nevada, Las Vegas, in summer 2007

Abstract

This article continues my earlier research on conflicts of interest in bankruptcy cases, particularly in chapter 11 cases. It suggests that conflicts in interest in chapter 11 bankruptcy cases should not be handled the same way that conflicts are handled under state ethics rules, and it proposes a new section of the Bankruptcy Code to cover conflicts of interest in cases filed under chapter 11.
