At the Winter Leadership Conference, the Bankruptcy Litigation Committee and the Commercial Fraud Task Force presented a joint program in the form of a mock hearing on a motion to appoint a trustee. The co-chair of the Litigation Committee, Judge Barry Russell, presided, and kept all attendees (and presenters) in suspense until the conclusion of the hearing. Dramatic testimony was offered by Cyrus Pardiwala, playing the CPA for the moving party seeking the trustee and also the evil twin CPA for the Debtor seeking to remain in possession. The case was loosely based on New Century Financial, and the presentation was well-received by all attendees.
