The general risks of using improper bankruptcy procedure will also be discussed.
Attendance at this seminar is limited to attorneys, trustees and other bankruptcy professionals. There is no charge for enrollment or materials. For reservations or further information email Cara_Porter@canb.uscourts.gov.
