Debtors' Exemption Statutes—Revision Ideas

This article delineates the purposes which exemption laws should serve and surveys ways in which a comprehensive revision of the Washington statutes can more equitably (both as to debtors and creditors) effectuate these purposes. The discussion is far from exhaustive of the many provisions which might be considered in a revision of the debtor exemption area. It is intended only as a starting point for the thinking of attorneys.
