Bankruptcy

Welcome to Mechele Dickerson

By Bob Lawless

Credit Slips would like to welcome Professor Mechele Dickerson as a guest blogger. Dickerson is the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the Fulbright & Jaworski Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law. She is a widely known and respected scholar of bankruptcy law. Her current paper, forthcoming in the Indiana Law Journal is entitled "The Myth of Home Ownership, and Why Home Ownership Is Not Always a Good Thing," and I am sure we will hear little bit about that work. As an academic dean, Professor Dickerson also is uniquely situated to talk about how bankruptcy and credit is covered in the university classroom. At the end of the week, Professor Dickerson is joining us here in Champaign for "A Debtor World: An Interdisciplinary Academic Symposium on Debt," and she may have a few contributions for those of you who are unable to join us. Welcome to Credit Slips, Mechele.
