The Credit Slips bloggers thank Judge Eugene Wedoff, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, for his participation as a guest blogger last week. His posts identified a number of important consumer bankruptcy issues, including student loans, the means test, and the potential of rule-making to address issues in bankruptcy cases.  We are grateful to Judge Wedoff for being the first judge to participate in Credit Slips. The bankruptcy judges are on the front lines of addressing the problems of serious financial distress, and we have much to learn from their perspectives.
