The Eastern District of Michigan Bar Association will present a bankruptcy event, “Unjust Debts – A Discussion with Professor Melissa Jacoby,” online Wednesday, April 2, from 5 to 7 p.m. via Zoom.
Jacoby is the Graham Kenan Professor of Law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she teaches commercial and bankruptcy law. From 2021-2024, Jacoby was appointed by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice to assist the Federal Judicial Center on educational programming for bankruptcy judges.
Jacoby has released a new book, “Unjust Debts: How Our Bankruptcy System Makes America More Unequal,” in which she challenges the idea that bankruptcy is a tool to help the vulnerable and unlucky and argues instead that it favors the powerful.
