Bloomberg BNA's Bankruptcy Law Resource Center™ Launched

ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bloomberg BNA announces the launch of the Bankruptcy Law Resource Center, a cutting-edge online platform that combines exclusive legal analysis and practice tools from the nation's leading bankruptcy law experts with renowned news coverage and comprehensive primary source information.

Designed to support the day-to-day needs of busy bankruptcy law practitioners, the Bankruptcy Law Resource Center brings together a wide range of bankruptcy law content into a single, user-friendly interface that speeds research time and increases productivity. Full-text decisions of significant commercial and consumer bankruptcy law cases are available alongside the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and related statutes, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and other key documents — all fully searchable. Timely coverage from the premier news service, BNA's Bankruptcy Law Reporter™, as well as attorney-developed practice tools and instructive Bloomberg BNA Portfolios are also featured.

"Time — or the lack of it — is obviously a key concern for attorneys forced to contend with demanding workloads and rigid schedules," said Edwin Jackson, Director of Publishing for Bloomberg BNA's Legal & Business Publishing Group. "This is what makes the Bankruptcy Law Resource Center such a benefit for today's practitioners. The service helps to alleviate the time constraints they face in the most direct way possible — by granting access to everything they need in one place. Whether it's case law, court rules, federal statutes, legal news, or author commentary and practice tips, the Resource Center includes it all for one set annual price."

Standout features of this new platform include seven treatises from the American Bankruptcy Institute, an interactive Bankruptcy Court Directory offering contact information for bankruptcy courts across the country, and Chapter 11 Milestones, which help users track significant developments in large commercial bankruptcy cases.

"Locating information quickly is only half the battle for bankruptcy law practitioners. Being able to rely on that information is another issue they have to contend with," said Michael Eisenstein, Vice President and Group Publisher for Bloomberg BNA's Legal & Business Publishing Group. "With content supplied by the industry's most extensive bankruptcy newsgathering operation, the Bankruptcy Law Resource Center ensures busy practitioners will always have access to the latest information they need, from reporters, thought leaders, and expert practitioners they can trust."

The Bankruptcy Law Resource Center is the eighth in Bloomberg BNA's new suite of online information and research platforms. In addition to bankruptcy law, current Resource Centers cover labor and employment, human resources and payroll, intellectual property, telecommunications, internet law, health law, and pension and benefits. Additional Resource Centers are scheduled for release through 2012.
