Plenary Session It Rose from the Grave! The Return of Boris Badenough

The ABI Players once again present another Boris Badenough saga, this time addressing ethical issues facing attorneys in representing both business entities who are controlled by hopelessly conflicted persons (and whether those persons are your clients or not) and hyper-aggressive creditors who will stop at nothing to profit from the financial misfortune of others. Our play is a study of Ghoulworld Inc., a revitalized theme park and entertainment center that does not feature popular Monstars, and how its descent into bankruptcy would make Edgar Allan Poe cringe.

Added 2010 Benefit

All Southeast Bankruptcy Workshop attendees will receive their choice of a complimentary copy of:

Thorny Issues in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases Based on a series of successful webinars ABI held in various cities that discussed consumer bankruptcy topics, Thorny Issues in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases addresses some of the “hot and not-so-easy” issues arising in today’s consumer bankruptcy practice. A compilation of materials that was presented during some of the sessions, the book covers such topics as getting the discharge, paying debtor and creditor counsel in chapter 13, credit counseling and debtor education, and post-confirmation modifications. The book traverses the less-traveled path of consumer bankruptcy practice in the wake of BAPCPA by focusing on the recurring “thorny” issues that do not have clearlydefined answers, presenting both sides to the arguments. In addition, overturned decisions are presented to help practitioners understand the development of the current positions. For those wading through the sometimes murky world of modern consumer case law, Thorny Issues in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases is a must-have addition to any consumer bankruptcy practitioner’s library.

Bankruptcy Issues for Commercial Landlords, Tenants and Mortgagees Second Edition Written by David R. Kuney of Sidley Austin, LLP (Washington, D.C.), this revised manual on real estate bankruptcy is a comprehensive, highly readable book on the rights and obligations of tenants, landlords and third parties. The book has been updated to add new cases and issues arising under BAPCPA, as well as in other areas where there has been significant development of the law, including letters of credit, landlord claims and the calculation of the statutory cap for such claims. The book also covers lease assumption, rejection, curing of defaults, damage calculations and pre-petition strategies, among other matters.
