American Bankruptcy Institute - Bankruptcy 2016: Views from the Bench

October 7, 2016
Georgetown University Law Center, Washington D.C.

Summary

Bankruptcy 2016: Views from the Bench offers a unique opportunity for bankruptcy practitioners to hear from 18 bankruptcy judges during a full day of high-quality CLE and networking opportunities. The theme of this year’s program is both a pragmatic and philosophical examination of the systematic and existential “threats” to the historical way the bankruptcy system has functioned, including structured dismissals, equitable mootness, gifting, successor liability, RSAs, and costs and legal fees.

Hon. Robert E. Gerber (ret.) will debate William Weintraub on whether asset sales under § 363 should lawfully be free and clear of successor-liability claims.

The conference also features small group lunchtime breakout sessions with the morning topics’ judges and speakers, creating an interactive learning environment.
