G. Marcus Cole, The Story of Johns Manville Corporation: The Intersection of Bankruptcy and Mass Torts, in Bankruptcy Law Stories 203 (Robert Rasmussen ed., 2007)
In this text leading scholars explore the landmark decisions that shape modern bankruptcy law and practice. Ten short and accessible chapters provide students with an understanding of the institutional, economic, and social forces that shape our bankruptcy system. The cases cover corporate, individual, and transnational bankruptcy and illustrate the role that the Solicitor General plays in shaping bankruptcy law. The book focuses on the ways lawyers have operated within the parameters set by the bankruptcy code, such as establishing the Manville Asbestos Trust.
