This series is in honor of the late Honorable Jerry A. Brown, who served as a bankruptcy judge in the Eastern District of Louisiana for 28 years.  Judge Brown was a steadfast supporter of the New Orleans Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, giving his time both as a member of the Board of Directors, as president of the Chapter from 1980-81, and later as a judge, hosting many sessions of the popular Lunch with the Court program, speaking at various CLE programs, and participating in many of the Chapter’s other functions over the years. 

On September 8, 2022 from 3-5 p.m. the FBA will host a Bankruptcy CLE for non-bankruptcy practitioners to provide information about the aspects of bankruptcy law that non-bankruptcy practitioners will most likely encounter in their everyday practice.  Topics covered will include the automatic stay: how it works and what constitutes a stay violation; filing proofs of claims and the process of claim objections; how bankruptcy can affect personal injury claims; and more.  Please join the Eastern District’s Chief Bankruptcy Judge, Meredith S. Grabill, and practitioners David Serio, Coleman Torrans, and Madison Tucker for a discussion of bankruptcy law issues that could affect you or your clients.

The CLE will be held at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, 500 Poydras Street in B-709 followed by a wine reception. This is an in-person CLE. Register online or download this registration form. All CLEs for New Orleans FBA members are FREE through September 2022! Registration is required. Contact the New Orleans Chapter at fbaneworleans@gmail.com with any questions.
