More than 60 members of the legal community participated in the
Massachusetts Bar Association's 11th Annual Western Mass Bankruptcy
conference on Monday, Feb. 4 at Western New England University
School of Law. Conference faculty included four federal bankruptcy
judges for the District of Massachusetts.
"The Western Massachusetts Bankruptcy Conference, now in its
11th year, has evolved into a premier vehicle for continuing legal
education in bankruptcy law in the District of Massachusetts," said
Hon. Henry J. Boroff of the United States Bankruptcy Court in
Springfield. "We are grateful for the involvement of the
Massachusetts bankruptcy judges and the bankruptcy law and other
practitioners who have devoted their time, attention and skills to
this program over that time and for the support of the
Massachusetts Bar Association, Western New England University
School of Law and the western Massachusetts bar associations. The
overwhelming success of the program is a great credit to each of
them."
This year's conference focused on changes in the intersection of
bankruptcy and family law, successful attorney/trustee interactions
and issue, updates on new claims and new foreclosure law and
comparing bankruptcy practice and procedure between Massachusetts
and Connecticut.
