On behalf of everyone at Credit Slips, I am extremely pleased to announce that Jean Braucher will be joining us as an "Occasional." Jean will be well known to many Credit Slips readers and has been a past guest contributor. She is, of course, the Roger C. Henderson Professor of Law at the University of Arizona and has published widely in the areas of bankruptcy and commercial law. Jean's list of publications is too long to capture in a short summary other than to say she is one of the leading bankruptcy scholars in the country. She just completed a stint as the Robert Zinman Resident Scholar at the American Bankruptcy Institute and also serves on the board of directors for the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys.

And for those who are wondering: the "Occasionals" are a category of bloggers here that we established a while back. The main difference between the "Occasionals" and the "Regulars" is just the expected frequency of postings.
