"The process of interconnecting and applying the national rules with local practice can be a difficult task. With this in mind, Henry M. Karwowski has written a masterful treatise unraveling and reconnecting the processes and procedures of the Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. He has thoroughly integrated the local rules with the national rules, and has addressed the practice issues that go along with each rule and procedure." -- James Waldron, Clerk, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey

New Jersey Bankruptcy Rules Annotated, a guide to the rules governing bankruptcy practice and procedure, will be an essential resource for any attorney who practices in bankruptcy courts, including the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. There is nothing like it presently available to NJ practitioners.

With each rule you will find a comprehensive comment section addressing the statutes, rules, and forms relating to the rule, and case law interpreting and applying the rule. The book contains the full text of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, the Local Rules of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, the advisory committee notes for each rule, and the General Orders of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.

There is a section on the Bankruptcy Court judges' preferences, describing how each judge wants things done. An index organized by key words culled from the rules text, as well as a table of cases and a table of authorities, are included.

An accompanying CD, an exact copy of the printed book, allows for easy searching of the rules. The CD contains cross-reference links from the Index, the Table of Contents, and the Tables of Authority, to pertinent parts of the book.
