The goal of the Norton Institutes is to provide an advanced level of discussion of current bankruptcy law issues in an atmosphere that invites questions and participation from registrants.
In 2009, the Norton Institutes will continue the audience interactive format that it initiated in 1996 in the consumer bankruptcy areas, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13. We are very pleased to have Judge Keith M. Lundin, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Middle District of Tennessee; Judge David A. Landers, Thompson & Coburn, St. Louis, MO; Judge Leif M. Clark, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Western District of Texas, to facilitate these open forum discussions. We are also pleased to announce that Jonathan M. Landers, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, New York, NY, will again devote 2½ hours to the discussion of the most significant decisions rendered in the past year.
All of the Institutes will deliver approximately 16 hours of instruction. In addition to the open forum discussions and the recent developments mentioned above, the Institutes will focus on all aspects of the 2005 Amendments and the manner in which courts and attorneys are dealing with these amendments. Each Institute will devote at least one hour to ethical problems.
The programs are planned by former United States Bankruptcy Judge William L. Norton, Jr., United States Bankruptcy Judge Keith M. Lundin and William L. Norton, III, Boult, Cummings, Conners & Berry. The faculty is selected primarily from Contributing Editors of Norton Bankruptcy Law & Practice, Norton Bankruptcy Law Adviser and Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law.
Since 1982, the Norton Institutes have featured a faculty of Judges and attorneys that are (i) experienced in their assigned topic, (ii) willing to devote the time required to provide top quality materials, and (iii) able to communicate their knowledge on the subject in an informative and practical manner. We encourage you to talk to former registrants to determine whether we have succeeded in accomplishing this goal.
The Norton Institutes are endorsed & co-sponsored by: Thomson-West, Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Advisors; Association of Former Bankruptcy Judges and Association of Law Clerks to Bankruptcy Judges.
