Biography

Angela Littwin is a Professor at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law, specializing in bankruptcy, consumer law, and commercial law. Her research interests focus on empirical studies in credit usage, particularly among low-income consumers. Littwin has written extensively on issues related to consumer credit, evidenced by her notable article 'Usury: Study of Credit Card Use Preference Among Low-Income Consumers' published in the Texas Law Review in 2008. She is also the principal investigator for the Consumer Bankruptcy Project, which studies consumer bankruptcy trends over the past 25 years, and the Bankruptcy Internet Data Project, which maintains a continually updated database for consumers seeking pre-bankruptcy credit counseling.
