UCLA-LoPucki Bankruptcy Research Database

Lynn M. LoPucki teaches Secured Transactions, Bankruptcy Empiricism, and Business Associations. He founded the UCLA-LoPucki Bankruptcy Research Database (BRD) in 1994 and continues to direct it. The BRD collects data on large, public company bankruptcies and disseminates it free of charge to bankruptcy researchers throughout the world. This data provided the foundation for Professor LoPucki’s two most recent books, Courting Failure: How Competition for Big Cases is Corrupting the Bankruptcy Courts (University of Michigan Press 2005) and Professional Fees in Corporate Bankruptcies: Data, Analysis, and Evaluation (Oxford University Press 2011) (with Joseph Doherty).
