신간소개: 도산법

최근 발간된 도산법 관련 서적 두 권을 소개한다.

➀Research Handbook on Corporate Bankruptcy Law (Research Handbooks in Corporate Law and Governance series)(2020) Edited by Barry E. Adler, New York University School of Law (5/2020, 464 pages)

➁American Business Bankruptcy: A Primer, by Stephen J. Lubben, Harvey Washington Wiley Chair in Corporate Governance and Business Ethics, Seton Hall University, School of Law (3/2020, 224 pages)

➀은 도산법 전반의 주요 이슈에 대한 글을 모아놓은 핸드북이고 ➁는 미국 도산법 개설서이다. ➀의 편자는 저명한 도산법학자이고 집필에 참여한 학자들도 Thomas H. Jackson, Robert K. Rasmussen, Mark J. Roe 등을 포함하여 모두 미국 도산법학계를 대표하는 학자들이다. 전통적인 주제들과 아울러 최근의 주요 현안들도 함께 다루고 있어 도산법의 주요영역의 최신 논의상황을 파악하는데 편리할 것으로 기대된다. ➁는 ➀의 공동집필자인 Stephen J. Lubben교수가 출간한 개론서로 최신 정보를 담고 있을 뿐 아니라 길이도 224페이지로 짧다는 것이 장점이라고 할 것이다. 이하에서는 목차를 차례로 소개한다.
