What is probably the first American treatise on bankruptcy law was written while the author was in prison. And, no, it wasn't debtor's prison -- the treatise (The Bankrupt Law of America, Compared with the Bankrupt Law of England) was written by Thomas Cooper in 1800, when he was in prison for violating the Sedition Act. _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://lists.powerblogs.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
