This is the entry for "Consumer Bankruptcy, Doctrinal
Issues In" in the Encyclopedia of Law and Society: American and
Global Perspectives. This entry provides a summary and overview
of the law and policy of consumer bankruptcy. First, it
summarizes the American bankruptcy law legal regime. Second, it
explores the competing hypotheses for the rise in bankruptcy
filings during the past three decades, contrasting the
"traditional" or "distress" model of consumer bankruptcy with the
"incentives" or economic model. Third, it describes the recent
amendments to the American consumer bankruptcy regime. Finally,
it provides a comparative view of consumer bankruptcy law by
comparing the American system and trends in American bankruptcy
law and policy with Europe and other areas of the world.
