Have you found Judge Randall Newsome’s bankruptcy research binder on the Northern District Bankruptcy Court’s website? This is an awesome compilation of leading cases on the total range of bankruptcy topics.
While it’s focused on the 9th Circuit, I suggest that new bankruptcy lawyers use it as a starting point for their personal bankruptcy law resource and add the cases in their circuits that address each relevant topic in Judge Newsome’s treasure.
When you’re new to this practice, it’s easy to keep cases and your work product in mind, available for recall. If you stay with bankruptcy law, that won’t always be the case. Give thought to establishing early in your practice a system for capturing and retrieving examples and authorities for reuse or a head start on the problem the next time it comes up.
