Coop Hunting and Stuff
Only a few weeks left in the quarter, and classes are becoming more familiar in terms of what is expected, the subjects are making more sense, and I'm getting nervous about outlining and exams. In retrospect, I chose a great lineup of courses, and I am enjoying myself quite a bit. The material feels really useful, and is filling in the informational gaps I noticed while I was on co-op last quarter.
When I began my last Coop, I'd taken the equivalent of consumer bankruptcy, and didn't have a lot of understanding beyond liquidation--i.e. [that is to say], selling a debtor's assets to pay creditors for debts owed. Well, while on Coop, my supervising attorney regularly invited me to discuss some of the matters she was working on, including reorganization plan approvals or rejections, and other matters relating to businesses in the bankruptcy context, as opposed to individuals in the bankruptcy context. I received a great introduction to business bankruptcy (which I am now taking), and because of that introduction I am a lot more vocal in class... or at least, a lot more comfortable in class.
At this point I'm hoping to combine the two, my fall Coop and this quarter's classes, into a really great spring Coop. I've applied to a few places, one of which is a Massachusetts bankruptcy judge's chambers. The rest are consumer protection organizations, and seemed like a fun opportunity to explore the consumer debtor side of things.
And now just waiting to hear back...
