Glannon Guide to Bankruptcy: Learning Bankruptcy Through
Multiple-Choice Questions and Analysis, Third Edition, is a concise,
clear, effective review of bankruptcy topics organized around the theme of
multiple-choice questions. Brief explanatory text about a topic is followed by
one or two multiple-choice questions, and after each question the author
explains how the correct choice was chosen. The student therefore not only
reviews course content but learns how to analyze exam questions. The Third
Edition has been updated to reflect cases resulting from the 2005 Amendments,
to reflect new code figures, and offers new questions in various areas.
Part of one of the few interactive study guide series on the market, this
Glannon Guide features:
-
An unusually user-friendly and interactive approach compared to other
exam preparation aids.
-
Multiple-choice questions integrated into a full-fledged review of the
Bankruptcy course.

Lead-up discussion of law in the text that prepares students to learn
effectively from subsequent questions.
-
Clear explanations of correct and incorrect answers that help to

difficult nor unrealistically straightforward.
-
Valuable exam-taking pointers interspersed within the substantive text.
-
Valuable techniques for all students, regardless of whether they will be
tested by multiple-choice questions on their exams.
-
A more challenging final question in each chapter (the “Closer ”)
that illustrates a sophisticated problem in the area under discussion.
-
“Closing Closer” questions in the last chapter that provide
practice and helpful review of concepts in earlier chapters.
Updated and polished, the Third Edition offers:
