2023, 2023 Annual Spring Meeting

This panel discusses cutting-edge issues involving the use of AI in law practice, and ethical questions and potential pitfalls surrounding its use by lawyers and legal professionals.

What is a DSO, and what does that bankruptcy provision in every Property Settlement Agreement mean, anyway? What debts are dischargeable, and if it is called “support,” is it truly support? Does the stay need to be modified post-petition in a chapter 13, and what do you do when a current chapter 13 client ends up in divorce court? This panel will address these questions and more, including the differences between chapters 7 and 13, and what actions are stayed.

This session will delve into what is happening at the circuit level regarding jurisdiction and standing, and how both bankruptcy practitioners and judges could be affected — regardless of what types of cases they typically see.

This panel focuses on material tax issues that every bankruptcy attorney should know that can impact both estate administration and bankruptcy plans.

This panel will discuss the following issues regarding crypto, distinguishing customer property from property of the estate, understanding crypto valuation issues, distribution options in crypto cases, M&A risks and pitfalls, effectively using social media to communicate with a large customer base, juggling cash and crypto management, and debtor-on-debtor violence.
