Text and context: discerning the basis for debtor's attorneys' fees under Chapter 7 and 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
Article Abstract:
Some courts have interpreted Section 330 of the Bankruptcy Code as forbidding courts from awarding "reasonable compensation" to debtor's attorneys. Other courts do not believe this interpretation is justified. The author examines this dichotomy and concludes that the second interpretation is more correct. He discusses a solution for this conflict.
