Learn About Bankruptcy on Your Own with LexisNexis

Economic times are tough and many are finding themselves in places where they are in debt, losing their homes, or finding they have to climb out and save their families by filing bankruptcy.  It is an emotionally and financially trying situation – one that no one wishes on another person.  The process of bankruptcy also involves a lot of legal jargon, which in and of itself can be especially trying. Therefore, it is advised to consult with a chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney when you’re considering to file for bankruptcy.

When I was attending school to earn my certificate in Paralegal Studies, I learned a lot about the computer program, LexisNexis.  Let me tell you – it is an awesome site and helps take out a lot of the research that you might have ended up doing on any particular subject. LexisNexis is written by leading practitioners and academics and provides commentary and legislation on general and personal bankruptcy.  The commentary closely refers to the Bankruptcy Act, Regulations and relevant court rules and forms.  The commentary also includes references to the Cross-border Insolvency Act.
