  • Read the latest article posted in the “Cracking the Code Interactive Newsletter,” by Jordan W. Sieve, "In re Bennett Funding: The Second Circuit Weighs in on Trustee Standing." The issue of which party or parties has(ve) standing to sue in adversary proceedings has been hotly contested in a number of recent court decisions. In reaching its decision that the trustee in Breeden lacked standing to pursue the claims at issue, the Second Circuit had occasion to examine and write about a number of important issues for litigants in adversary proceedings.

  • The popular Bankruptcy - Nuts & Bolts for Young Practitioners program, which was filled to capacity at ABI's Annual Spring Meeting, is available online! An outstanding faculty of judges and practitioners, led by ABI Resident Scholar David G. Epstein, will explain the fundamentals of bankruptcy, covering: structure of the Code; concepts such as discharge, property of the estate, claims, priority, adequate protection; automatic stay and exceptions; avoiding powers, fraudulent transfers, preferences; executive contracts and leases; and chapter 11 from beginning to end. Faculty bios are available online. The cost for this program is $295 (special prices are available for government employees) and CLE credit is available in some states.
