Judicial Management of Mass Tort Bankruptcy Cases

S. Elizabeth Gibson
January 1, 2005

Designed as resource for judges to guide them through the complexities of managing mass tort bankruptcy reorganizations, this publication draws lessons from difficult-to-find sources and presents them in a form that is part judicial manual, part treatise, and part case study. Knowledgeable judges and practitioners contributed experiences and ideas. This work will also aid policy makers and academics in their quest for improved methods and procedures for resolving issues related to the large number of personal injury claims in such litigation.
