Brief Bank:Hamilton v. Lanning

We are proud to announce a new feature of our website, the Brief Bank.  We debut this resource with our own Jan Hamilton’s briefs from Hamilton v. Lanning.  However, for this resource to be successful, we need your help.  Please contact Michaela White, Editor and Advisor, if you have access to a brief (or know of anyone else that has) that you think can be helpful to others facing similar issues.  The briefs need not concern novel or rarely litigated questions.  In fact, routine matters are especially useful particularly for members who are new to bankruptcy.  The purpose of the Academy is to educate and raise the bar on the practice of consumer bankruptcy. To accomplish our mission, we need our members’ support.  We look forward to hearing from you.
