Emory Law Visiting Professor Laura Spitz was asked to testify before the Georgia Senate Study Committee on Bankruptcy Homestead Exemptions on the topic of consumer bankruptcy law. The Committee, chaired by Georgia Senator Ed Tarver, will hear submissions from a variety of constituencies — including debtors, attorneys and bankers — on the possibility of raising the homestead exemptions for consumer bankruptcy debtors in Georgia.
The hearing will take place Nov. 25, at 9:00 a.m., in room 125 of the Georgia State Capitol, and it is open to the public.
