Description

Basics of Bankruptcy Practice (2013)

Recorded on December 5, 2013 at the New York State Nurses Association in Latham, NY (Albany).  This archived webcast is a video online program that you will view and listen to on your computer screen.

Total MCLE Credit 7.5 (1.0 Ethics; 1.5 Skills; 5.0 Professional Practice).  Newly admitted attorneys (less than 24 months) CANNOT receive New York MCLE credit for online programs.

A greater numbers of attorneys are finding the need to learn or to re-learn how to service bankruptcy law clients while not violating the regulations on lawyering of the Bankruptcy "Reform" Act, which became effective October 2005. In this practice-oriented program, the faculty will examine the "nuts and bolts" of bankruptcy law and practice. They will discuss substantive issues such as property of the estate, discharge and dischargeability of debts, the automatic stay, executory contracts and leases, and voidable transfers of property that most commonly arise in bankruptcy cases. They will address Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, the means test, and consumer oriented issues that face lawyers. You will learn how to commence a case as well as the ethical obligations of counsel in the bankruptcy context.
