United States Third Circuit

Since plaintiff-debtor's second malpractice action was based on alleged pleading errors committed in the first malpractice action, and her bankruptcy estate was harmed by the alleged malpractice that is the subject of the second action, it constitutes an interest in property acquired by the bankruptcy estate pursuant to 11 USC 541(a)(7).
