NO CLE - A Conversation About Mental Health and the Practice of Law

In a recent survey, 93% of the respondents said that they had used the past year to reflect on their lives, and 88% said that the meaning of success had changed for them since the start of the pandemic. Yet the number of lawyers suffering from depression, anxiety and substance abuse is greater than ever. This panel will discuss ways in which we can help others — and ourselves — navigate this dichotomy.

NO CLE - Representing a Debtor or Creditor in a Bankruptcy Proceeding? It’s an Ethical Minefield Either Way!

Consumer lawyers on behalf of both debtors and creditors deal with myriad ethical issues to ensure effective and economical representation of their clients. This panel will explore the implications of representing individuals, small businesses, insiders and creditors, including what to do when your client becomes your creditor (how far can you go to get paid?) and how to avoid breaching the attorney/client privilege (just who do or can you talk to?). In a small business, the owner often considers counsel to be representing “her” interest.

NO CLE - So, You Think You’re an Expert on Evidentiary Issues?

Think you can cross-examine the opposing expert on her/his opinions that have been rejected or criticized in the past? Not so fast. What’s the appropriate premise of value? How many feet from the deathbed does the debtor have to be to adopt a liquidation premise? Does satisfaction of a contractual obligation conclusively establish reasonably equivalent value? Must you also avoid the obligation? What are the ways to establish compliance with industry standards under § 547(c)(2)? Will a fact witness suffice?
