The TBA’s 19th Annual Bankruptcy Law Forum will take place April 12-14 in a new location! After many years of hosting the forum in Gatlinburg, the program will move to Chattanooga for 2024. Make plans now to join colleagues for this three-day experience, learning from some of the region’s top bankruptcy practitioners and sitting judges. This year's faculty includes U.S. Bankruptcy Judges Denise E. Barnett from Memphis, Suzanne H. Bauknight from Knoxville, Nicholas W. Whittenburg from Chattanooga and Paul Bonapfel from Atlanta, as well as Chapter 13 Trustees Debra Miller from Knoxville and Kara West from Chattanooga. The forum’s most unique element — pairing attendees with judges in small groups to discuss specific consumer and commercial case problems — also is back to help practioners analyze the real-world problems bankruptcy lawyers face. Other topics include developments impacting mortgages in bankruptcies, new amendments to Article 9 of the UCC, ethical issues that arise in bankruptcy and case law updates. Finally, attendees will join faculty and judges on Saturday evening for dinner. Get more details, the full schedule and registration link here.
