Presented by the Commercial Law and Bankruptcy Section
About the Program
Bankruptcy law in the United States is codified in the Bankruptcy Code. This program will consider whether and to what extent there is and should be a common law of bankruptcy. In doing so, the panel will discuss the relevance of pre-Code precedents; courts’ use of section 105(a) (e.g., in the contexts of critical vendors, insurance premiums, and employee wages); the Rule of Necessity; questions of good faith and the proper purposes of bankruptcy; and, more fundamentally, the place of a common law in our Code-driven field.
You Will Learn
• About doctrines of bankruptcy law beyond what is explicitly discussed in the Code from a sitting and a retired bankruptcy court judge and an experienced bankruptcy practitioner
Who Should Attend
Practitioners of all levels and experience, including those new to bankruptcy and those looking to perfect their skills.
