Young and New Member Committee Annual Report

At the Annual Spring Meeting in April, the committee hosted a panel that discussed the ins and outs of choosing a venue in which to file, including circuit splits on pertinent areas of law, variations in local rules, and the amorphous “comfort” level that some practitioners have with some jurisdictions over others.

During the Winter Leadership Conference in December, our panel, "Recent Trends in the Credit Bidding of Assets and Cross-Border Issues," focused on credit bidding in chapter 11 cases, as well as on recent decisions and limitations courts have applied to a secured creditor’s right to credit bid in bankruptcy cases. 

In addition to this excellent programming, committee volunteers submitted a dozen original articles that were published in our e-newsletter in 2019. Interested in writing for the newsletter? Touch base with one of our Newsletter Editors, Prof. Laura Napoli Coordes of Arizona State College of Law or Christina Sanfelippo of Fox Rothschild, to coordinate your submission.
