Professor to discuss ‘Unjust Debts’ online
The Eastern District of Michigan Bar Association will present “Unjust Debts – A Discussion with Professor Melissa Jacoby,” online Wednesday, April 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. via Zoom.
Jacoby is the Graham Kenan Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she teaches commercial and bankruptcy law.
Jacoby has released a new book, “Unjust Debts: How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More Unequal,” in which she challenges the idea that bankruptcy is a tool to help the vulnerable and unlucky and argues instead that it favors the powerful.
