What you will learn
I started this course with the understanding that diving into bankruptcy law as a paralegal or legal assistant can be pretty overwhelming for someone just getting their feet wet. So, I carefully structured each module to build your knowledge from the ground up, making sure it’s clear, accessible, and packed with all the essential information you need without any filler.

By the end of it, you'll feel empowered to handle the intricacies of bankruptcy petitions, and crucially, you’ll know you’ve got a solid foundation to build upon as you advance in your career.
