In this week's post, Professor Edward Janger (Brooklyn Law School) disscusses bankruptcy law's role in regulating banks and other financial intermediaries, arguing for a complementary role for bankruptcy courts in the current regulatory system: bankruptcyroundtable.law.harvard.edu/?p=4134

Prof. Edward Janger spoke with WSJ for an article titled "It Has Your Money—and Your Pants Size. Here’s What PayPal Is Doing With Them." The article examines the wealth of information financial companies collect on consumers & which companies are selling.

Today is the day we've all been waiting for. October 15. Early voting in Georgia has begun. And that means one thing: Jimmy Carter can cast his ballot for Kamala Harris! He's getting his birthday wish. God bless him.

Equally good: @vickieastus making the motion for the @bkdems to endorse @KamalaHarris #WhenWeFightWeWin
Seamus Campbell@seamus4brooklyn
One of the few good parts of that @bkdems meeting: I got to formally move to have the party endorse the NY ERA - which is kinda apt since @INDBrooklyn did circulate the letter to @JayJacobs28 asking that the @nydems work to make sure the ERA is passed.

It was a privilege and an honor to participate in this symposium! Thank you to the J-Reg editors for a truly thoughtful (and helpful) edit.
Yale Journal on Regulation@YaleJREG
In Equity for Intermediaries, @tjanger examines the affirmative and complementary role for bankruptcy courts in the regulation of financial intermediaries, which he calls “constitutive equity.” yalejreg.com/print/equity-f…

In bankruptcy, majority of claimants can bind everyone. That's not a "settlement;" it is coercive federal power. That's why profitable companies should not be allowed to use ch 11 solely to terminate legal rights of women with ovarian cancer.

Elisabeth de Fontenay and I have a 🚨new paper🚨 on private credit:
"The Credit Markets Go Dark," forthcoming @YaleLJournal.
In the Article, we consider what private credit will mean for corporate finance, corporate governance and the administration of bankruptcy law.

Two essential news items today:
1. I now have tenure @brooklynlaw!
2. I'm now hiring chair @brooklynlaw!
Too many people to thank here rn, but suffice it to say I'm very thankful and excited. Being a (tenured!) law prof remains my dream job, even if I lack full immunity.

Nothing better than library book photos!
Has your public library ordered copies of Unjust Debts?
Please ask - many libraries make it easy to do on their websites.
More information about why library users will want access to the book: mbjacoby.org/unjustdebts
Denise Neary@NearyDenise
Love seeing the deserved attention on @melissabjacoby’s new book. Grateful to @MCPL_Libraries for ordering it!

Fewer struggling small businesses can use streamlined form of chapter 11 because Sen. Paul blocked the bipartisan effort to keep a higher debt cap in place.
Can someone point me to any explanation from Sen. Paul?
Melissa Angell@melisskawrites
The debt limit to file for Subchapter V bankruptcy is expected to revert to $2.7m this Friday unless Congress acts quickly. There IS a bill that'd keep this cap for another two years, but I'm told that Sen. Rand Paul placed a hold on it. More in @Inc inc.com/melissa-angell…

The best way to get ready for the debate is learn about bankruptcy! You're just going to waste that 90 minutes otherwise, this way you get an incredible event at Greenlight with Prof. Jacoby.

Bankruptcy law is having a moment. From consumer finance, to student loans, to opioids, to "liability management transactions," nobody offers a clearer, more insightful view than Melissa. It has been identified as one of the best "summer reads" by the Financial Times. 2/3
