Venue/Jurisdiction

Do you ever wonder what a particular Supreme Court decision means for you and your practice? This panel will discuss the Supreme Court’s general approach to deciding cases, including bankruptcy cases, and what those decisions mean for the bankruptcy and larger legal community. The panelists will use decisions from last term (as well as those to be argued this term) to help attendees better understand the decisions, how they might influence lower court decisions, and what it all means for those subjected to their decisions.

The panel will discuss bankruptcy Supreme Court cases from the last two years and their effects at the trial court level. The panelists will also highlight key issues where there are circuit splits that may provide ground for future Supreme Court jurisprudence.

Join ABI Editor-at-Large Bill Rochelle for this fun and informative session as he and several bankruptcy judges discuss circuit splits and hot topics on important bankruptcy issues. An attendee favorite!

This panel will address recent decisions, including Modern Land, affecting the standard for recognition of a foreign insolvency proceeding as either a foreign main or nonmain proceeding.

Presented in the style of the ever-popular TED Talks, this year’s ABI Talks will focus on four hot topics: the state of the bankruptcy judiciary, Cinemark, civil contempt issues and venue reform.
