2021 Spring Essay Contest Winners

The 2021 Spring Essay Contest dealt with the newly enacted Subchapter V to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and how it may be helpful for small business debtors seeking to reorganize their finances in better way than the former provisions of Chapter 11 dealt with small business debtors. Subchapter V was passed by Congress in late 2019 but in March of 2020 it was expanded as part of the CARES Act legislation which broadly dealt with the Covid-19 pandemic. This was an exciting and timely topic that in part addressed reorganizations for some of the hardest hit businesses during the global pandemic, small businesses. We received many excellent essays. The three students winning first, second and third place for their essays are shown below with a link to their essays.
