Bankruptcy Law Section
The Bankruptcy Law Section is primarily comprised of attorneys who represent debtors and/or creditors in bankruptcy cases. The section has also had non-attorney members, including accountants and bankruptcy trustees. The purpose of the section is to provide a forum of fellowship and learning concerning topics of interest for attorneys and non-attorneys who practice in bankruptcy court and non-attorneys who provide support to the bankruptcy bar. Formerly known as the Commercial Law and Bankruptcy Section, the section includes commercial as well as bankruptcy issues within its scope. There are approximately 40 members.
The section typically meets three to five times each year, usually for continuing education programs held at lunchtime at the JFKU School of Law in Pleasant Hill. At these luncheons, speakers discuss topics of interest to the bankruptcy bar. The programs are usually approved for one hour of MCLE credit. Past speakers have included bankruptcy judges and trustees, private practice attorneys in the area, and other professionals.
