About Walter Chandler

The late Congressman Walter Chandler was the sponsor of the eponymous Chandler Act of 1938, which added the first comprehensive corporate reorganization and individual debtor's wage-earner plan proceedings to American bankruptcy law. These provisions of the Chandler Act remained in effect for 40 years and provided the foundation for both chapter 11 and chapter 13 of the current law.
