| Introduction | -->I am an historian whose principal project is the biography of Dallas congressman Hatton W. Sumners (1875-1962), who served 1913-1947 and chaired the House Judiciary Committee from 1931 onward. Portions of chapters now in print include an article focusing on Sumners’s role in the 1937 court-packing crisis was published June 2021 in the John Marshall Law Review, and an article about Sumners's more or less singlehanded amendment of the Electoral Count Act in 1928 on SSRN. After that will be a chapter/article on Sumners's primary involvement in bankruptcy legislation of the thirties including the creation of Chapter IX (municipal bankruptcy). In 2023 I published the article "Cooptation of the Carmack Amendment by the Railroads. 1906-1917: A Study in Associational Lawyering" in Northern Kentucky Law Review. Another project is the history of the Texas Bar Association, 1882-1940. -->I am retired from law practice. During more than 39 years, I represented all types of parties in many cases under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and in advisory work regarding all aspects of restructuring and insolvency law. |
