Welcome to Professors Block-Lieb and Janger
Credit Slips is delighted to welcome the talented stylings of Block, Lieb & Janger (which is how I think their names should be if they formed a firm) for the upcoming week as our Guest Bloggers. I am especially excited because I am a fan of both Professor Susan Block-Lieb of Fordham Law School and Professor Edward (Ted) Janger of Brooklyn Law School. Why? Not just because I'm a bankruptcy geek -- as, proudly, are they, too -- but because I like their scholarship, both individually (where they have both written on a subject area close to my heart, cross-border insolvency) and jointly (where they have a nice piece in the Texas Law Review struggling to reconcile bankruptcy reform with insights from consumer behavioralism -- forthcoming, oxymoronically, in the May 2006 issue). I last saw Susan and Ted in Brooklyn, where we all participated in Ted's excellent academic conference, which I called Bankruptcy in the Global Village, "The Revenge" -- because it was the decade-later gathering of the seminal conference, Bankruptcy in the Global Village. They are two of the most interesting and independent scholarly voices in bankruptcy law today, in my opinion; I think we are most lucky to have them as visitors. And with expectations thus set unachievably high, please enjoy their week...
