Policy-makers on Capitol Hill have long relied on the expertise of
ABI in the evaluation of bankruptcy law and efforts
to improve the system. While ABI does not advocate policy positions or
lobby Congress for legislation, it does provide a unique
multi-disciplinary perspective. The Legislative Committee analyzes
proposed bills at the request of Congress and legislative staff. In
addition to testifying before Congressional committees, ABI prepares white
papers on current bankruptcy topics and also conducts periodic briefings
for Congressional staff members.
ABI’s online headquarters, ABI World, is the most comprehensive reference tool
on insolvency and related issues. In addition to the ABI
Journal, published 10 times per year, and the ABI
Law Review, published twice per year, ABI’s web site supports a semi-weekly
newsletter of insolvency issues, ABI
Update , and prints a variety of specialized publications.
Topics ranging from basic bankruptcy to complex issues. ABI also publishes educational materials
from its many conferences. For information on obtaining any or all of
these publications, please check out the Online Bookstore.
