EBDJ Student Authors Cited

Recently, EBDJ Executive Managing Editor Chelsey Tulis' article was cited in In re Lukaszewski, 414 B.R. 15, 21 n.3 (Bankr. D. Conn. 2009) ("For an extensive discussion on 'projected disposable income' see Chelsey W. Tulis, Get Real: Reframing the Debate over How to Calculate Projected Disposable Income in § 1325(b), 83 Am. Bankr. L.J. 345 (2009) (arguing, inter alia, 'that courts should follow the forward-looking approach as applied in ... Lanning')."

The Supreme Court granted certiorari in Hamilton v. Lanning (In re Lanning), to address the question, what is the proper method for calculating “projected disposable income” in Chapter 13 cases in light of the new definition of "disposable income" inserted under BAPCPA. Hamilton v. Lanning (In re Lanning), 545 F.3d 1269, 1270 (10th Cir. 2009), cert. granted, No. 08-998 (U.S. Nov. 2, 2009).  

Prior to the granting of cert, the Supreme Court requested the Solicitor General file a brief. The Solicitor General's Office cited recent Emory Law graduate and former EBDJ Managing Editor Thomas Izzo's comment in the current issue of EBDJ. Thomas Izzo, Comment, Projecting the Past: How the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act has Befuddled § 1325(b) and "Projected Disposable Income", 25 Emory Bankr. Dev. J. 521 (2009).
