Last week, the Supreme Court upheld the application to attorneys of a federal law that bars "debt relief agencies" from advising clients to incur more debt for filing for bankruptcy. The case (Milavetz, Gallop & Milavetz v. United States) involves a law firm from Minnesota which argued that lawyers should not be covered by the law. The opinion is available here.
