    I assume Scienter and reckless disregard are the main ones.

    Me either. Want to take a break? I'm at the point where I'm overwhelmed with everything. I think I might need to take a breather.

    A break sounds good. I think I'm going to watch a show and then get back to it, but I need to read over my notes again for blaw. Trying to answer questions is killing my confidence.

    The answer to that last question was D

    The attorney is required to file an affidavit noting that he or she has informed the client of the various forms of bankruptcy and their relief. This is a new requirement under the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act.

    Under another new requirement, the attorney must reasonably review the filings for errors and omissions. While the attorney is not required to be a CPA and audit the materials, sufficient review to avoid abuse and misrepresentation is the guiding tenant of this requirement.

    There is no obligation of an attorney to “guide” the debtor to use Chapter 11 or 13; however, the attorney must advise the debtor of the choices available. Nor is there a responsibility or obligation for an attorney to have different legal rates for different forms of bankruptcy filings.

    Oh my gosh – I think I found an answer on that Options question that confused us before – If an offer is not supported by any consideration being received it is therefore not an option contract. Thus, the offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to acceptance regardless of the mention of the time limit. The offer would also be terminated if the offeror died prior to acceptance. Likewise, a counteroffer terminates the offer, so any subsequent “acceptance” would in effect be a new offer, which could then be accepted (or not).

    Good job Bucky!! That makes me feel better about those little details between the two problems. Lack of consideration means it can be withdrawn at any time. Noted!
