Author: The Federalist Society June 8, 2023 Duration: 28:06
On February 22, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Bartenwerfer v. Buckley. At issue was whether a debtor is liable for a debt incurred by her partner’s fraud and if she can discharge that debt in bankruptcy, regardless of her own culpability; the Court held that she could not discharge that debt.

Join us to hear Prof. Plank break down the decision and offer his criticism of the Court's reasoning and ruling.

Featuring:
Thomas Plank, Professor Emeritus, University of Tennessee College of Law
