The European Union goes Comi-tose: hazards of harmonizing corporate insolvency laws in the global economy.

Aaron M. Kaufman, J.D.. University of Houston Law Center, 2007; B.S., Computer Science, University of Texas, 2002. Law clerk to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Leif M. Clark, Western District of Texas, San Antonio (2007-2008 term). This Comment received the James Baker Hughes Prize for an Outstanding Comment on a Topic in International Economic Law. I would like to thank Judge Jeff Bohm and Richard Ginsburg for introducing me to the stimulating world of transnational insolvency. Also, I would like to thank each and every member of my family for their love and support throughout my life and especially over the last few years. Last, but most certainly not least, I would like to thank my wife Julia for her emotional and practical support throughout law school and, most pertaintly, throughout this publication process--if only I could assure you that this will be the last you will hear of transnational insolvency.
