Something for the Amicus Brief?

In the Argentine appeal?

This weekend I found myself reading an 1829 edition of American Jurist and Law Magazine (it's a long story, but says much about my social life), and came across the following:

The injustice of allowing one creditor to appropriate to his own use the funds which in equity and good conscience belong to all, is so manifest, that it often induces debtors to secrete their property, intending at the outset to have it divided ratably among all their creditors, while in the end they are led to retain the whole for their own use.

Bankr-L

  • As a public service, the University of Illinois College of Law operates Bankr-L, an e-mail list on which bankruptcy professionals can exchange information. Bankr-L is administered by one of the Credit Slips bloggers, Professor Robert M. Lawless of the University of Illinois. Although Bankr-L is a free service, membership is limited only to persons with a professional connection to the bankruptcy field (e.g., lawyer, accountant, academic, judge). To request a subscription on Bankr-L, click here to visit the page for the list and then click on the link for "Subscribe." After completing the information there, please also send an e-mail to Professor Lawless ([email protected]) with a short description of your professional connection to bankruptcy. A link to a URL with a professional bio or other identifying information would be great.
