David G. Epstein has been teaching, practicing, and lecturing on bankruptcy for over 30 years. He is known and respected by the bar and bench. Most lawyers admitted in the last ten years relied on David's lectures on contracts to get through the bar exam; most lawyers who took bankruptcy in law school relied on David's nutshell. And, most lawyers who have heard David lecture at other CLE programs will attend this program to hear David again! In the past thirty years, there have been few more respected authorities on consumer and business bankruptcy.

Professor Epstein currently teaches contracts, property, and secured transactions at the Dedman School of Law of Southern Methodist University. He has served as the Charles E. Tweedy, Jr. Chair of Law at the University of Alabama, was a partner in the law firm of King & Spalding, Dean of the Emory Law School, and the University of Arkansas Law School, tenured professor at Emory, Arkansas, the Universities of Texas and North Carolina and visiting professor at the University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Chicago, Brigham Young University, University of Houston, Washington University, Georgia State, Harvard, NYU & Georgetown.

In the Spring of 2003 he was the Robert M. Zinman Resident Scholar of the American Bankruptcy Institute.

Epstein is a co-author of Bankruptcy, a three-volume treatise for judges and lawyers; and of three best-selling Law School textbooks, Debt: Bankruptcy and Related Laws, Basic Commercial Law, and Business Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code; and the author of Bankruptcy and Other Debtor-Creditor Laws in a Nutshell.

Epstein received his undergraduate and law degrees from The University of Texas and received a graduate degree in law from Harvard.
