Arnold Quittner 1927-2014
Arnold Quittner passed away on November 4, 2014. He was one of the bankruptcy giants of our time. Info about the services can be accessed here.
There is a very nice interview of Arnold by Judge Randall Newsome for the National Bankruptcy Archives on October 28, 2011. You can access that here. I believe the tapes are kept at Penn, called the Oral History Collection. My son Hunter and I went through the library at Penn a year or so ago and tried to find the collection. No one at the library knew what we were talking about.
Jacoby & Meyers Forced into Chapter 7
Apparently some creditors have filed an involuntary chapter 7 petition against Jacoby & Meyers in New York. The creditors allege that the firm has been defunct since last December and has transferred assets which should be recovered. The Bloomberg article can be accessed here. The case is In re Jacoby & Meyers Bankruptcy LLP, 14-bk-10641, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Stutman Treister & Glatt to Close May 1, 2014
I had heard this was going to happen a month or so ago but I’m still greatly saddened to find it’s true. I took a class at Loyola Law School in the mid-70s taught by Jack Stutman and Herman Glatt. That class is a big reason why I am a bankruptcy attorney today. I loved those guys. I took a bankruptcy class from George Treister at USC in the mid-80s. He is living in Oregon today. Herman Glatt died a month or two ago. They were great guys. The news can be found here and here.
Position Available at Public Counsel
Administrative Assistant position open. The announcement is here.
