Abstract

In this study, we analyzed 100 randomly selected Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases filed in 2002 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Utah. In addition to these cases, we personally interviewed five local bankruptcy attorneys and court officers addressing the issue of Utah’s high bankruptcy rate. We also researched national statistics and other previous research with the purpose of identifying who in Utah is filing for bankruptcy and what factors are leading to these bankruptcies.
