14th ANNUAL REVIEW OF 9th CIRCUIT DECISIONS ON BANKRUPTCY IN 2019

18 Jan 2020

This program fills up a large classroom each year. This year we are privileged that Judge Julia Brand of the Central District of California and Judge Christopher Klein of the Eastern District of California will join us for the presentation. The materials will include a case summary of every published 9th Circuit and 9th Circuit BAP case in 2019 and of course the Supreme Court cases that are of interest to bankruptcy practitioners.

This year there are 22 cases from the BAP. As Judge Klein spent a bunch of years sitting on the BAP and Judge Brand is there now, the insight should be special.
