Ideas:
“  I am drafting scholarly articles on Chapter 15 and the NVRA, proposals for book-length exegeses of Chapter 2 of the Federal Arbitration Act and the history of U.S. agricultural bankruptcy history law, and academic and practical pieces on the arcane (disallowed creditors as parties-in-interest), mundane (participation standard under section 1141), bankruptcy-centric (Butner), legally generic (joinder), and more. I invite comments about my past work and protean plans, co-authoring opportunities, and advice about how to hone my existing writing skills and nascent marketing efforts. A caveat about this author’s page: While I uploaded a few of my non-academic writings, I left off most, such as those printed by the American Bankruptcy Institute Journal. To any interested person, I will gladly dispatch a comprehensive publications tally and/or directions on how to access these compositions.  ”
