Annual Review of Insolvency Law

The Annual Review of Insolvency Law is the only refereed journal in Canada that is dedicated to insolvency law, with articles contributed by scholars, accounting and legal practitioners and members of the judiciary. Housed at UBC Faculty of Law, it is dedicated primarily to developments in Canadian personal and commercial insolvency, although it contains some comparative analysis as well. This conference marks the launch of the second volume of the Review.

ABI is the largest multi-disciplinary, non-partisan organization dedicated to research and education on matters related to insolvency. ABI was founded in 1982 to provide Congress and the public with unbiased analysis of bankruptcy issues. The ABI membership includes over 10,500 attorneys, accountants, bankers, judges, professors, lenders, turnaround specialists and other bankruptcy professionals providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information.
