Bankruptcy & Article 9 Statutory Supplement

The Business Bankruptcy Project is a five-year empirical study of about 3,200 business cases originally filed in Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 in 23 judicial districts during 1994. This first report focuses on financial and demographic data, creating a statistical profile of the businesses in bankruptcy. The data reported in this paper include assets, debts, solvency, corporate or individual debtor type, classification of industries, number of employees, and reasons for filing; the data are reported in the aggregate, by chapter of filing, and by district. These data are used to test a number of hypotheses about the operation of the business bankruptcy system. The report also reveals anomalies in the system, such as certain large debtor companies that file no bankruptcy schedules at all.The sample is marked by its diversity, which includes a large number of small businesses and a small number of large businesses. Among the business debtors are a surprising number of natural persons in Chapter 11, a procedure designed around a corporate template. Across all three chapters there is substantial overlap of consumer and business debt, with many business debtors reporting a combination of business and personal reasons as triggers for their bankruptcy filings. Financially, the sample as a whole is solvent, with more than 25% of Chapter 11 business debtors claiming balance-sheet solvency. The social impact of bankruptcy is emphasized by its effect on employees. Although many of businesses are small by most measures, extrapolation from the reported data suggest that as many as 2 million employees a year find their employers going into bankruptcy. Real estate companies are prominent in Chapter 11, and more than half of them claim to be solvent.

This project seeks to explore why rape as a tool of war has been inconsistently employed by Israeli forces (specifically, the Haganah/Irgun and the Israel Defense Forces) during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Rape as a tool of war can be used as a means of ethnic cleansing, terrorizing, and weakening the will of the targeted population. It has seen widespread use in ethnic and territorial conflicts similar to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Why has Israel avoided this war tactic, despite allegedly using it in the run-up to the 1948 War of Independence? What events, developments, beliefs or other factors altered its calculus? This project aims to determine some of the factors that correlate with the incidence of martial rape and shed light on how its use can be deterred or prevented. Ultimately, it finds that a highly influential factor deterring martial rape is the professionalization of military forces.
