About the Program

A great way to finish off the conference with a little bit of fun, this session will test attendees’ knowledge of the Rules of Professional Conduct in the context of two bankruptcy case hypotheticals in a game-show format.  Attendees will be presented with two hypothetical case studies, and then answer a series of multiple-choice questions on legal ethics.  Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers!

You Will Learn

About the rules and conventions that govern the ethical practice of law in the bankruptcy context by using the facts presented in two hypothetical case studies and then answering questions that touch on relevant areas in the field of professional responsibility
About the ever-relevant topic of artificial intelligence and the equally-compelling subject of limited appearances

Who Should Attend

Attorneys, judges, and other professionals interested in bankruptcy.
