Bankruptcy Panel: Kicking Over the Chessboard --
Everything a Civil Litigator Needs to Know
Our panel of distinguished bankruptcy litigators will discuss the
most important topics non-bankruptcy practitioners need to know
when a litigant files for bankruptcy. Learn how the bankruptcy

case, and be prepared to react quickly. Panelists will provide
pointers on how to get a case back on track.

the Other Side of the Bench
This presentation will examine realistic, substantive and
procedural quandaries that attorneys encounter on a regular basis

that attorneys face as a part of their practice.
