Your Day in Bankruptcy Court
Four Scenarios |
The scenarios referred to in this exercise support the CD-ROM Bankruptcy: Don't Let It Happen to You. It can be viewed and ordered at www.ncbj.org. The scenarios are fleshed out in this material and include discussion questions. They are designed for judges and lawyers to use with teachers and students in the courtroom or classroom. The scenarios increase students' awareness of common financial pitfalls encountered by young people that can lead them to consider bankruptcy. Each anecdote also touches on the considerations for and consequences of bankruptcy. The scenarios are a springboard for discussing four common areas of risk for young people in high school, college, and the workforce. They are as follows:
- First-Job Euphoria
- Truck Today Gone Tomorrow
- Student Loan Syndrome
- A Question of Credit Card Fraud
