Confirming Chapter 13 Plans – December 20, 2012 – 12 PM
Dear All:
On Thursday, December 20th at 12 noon at the office of the San Fernando Valley Bar Association, a distinguished panel of attorneys will present a one hour presentation on confirming chapter 13 plans. The panel includes debtor and creditor counsel as well as one staff attorney from the Office of Elizabeth Rojas, Chapter 13 Trustee. The program should be lively with feedback from attending attorneys.
The program is important for those bankruptcy attorneys who do not practice often (or not at all) in chapter 13 because you must be able to give good advice to your clients when discussing the chapter 13 option with them. For attorneys who do practice in chapter 13, what better opportunity to learn gems about confirmation issues than this program?
Here are the particulars about the program:

cdcbaa — First Meeting of the Year 1/26/13
Out first program of the year will be the annual 9th Circuit Review on Saturday Jan 26. I will be joined by Judge Meredith Jury and Judge Neil Bason. Put it on your calendar. Last year we had 146 attendees and ran out of handouts early. I will bring more this year but we expect a good crowd.
I am working on the materials. I would like to add some briefs on local judge’s rulings on attorneys fees. If you have a case or know of a case where a judge wrote an opinion or at least a memorandum or other written ruling on why or why not he or she allowed or disallowed fees, let me know the case number and I will look at it to include in the materials.
For that matter, any opinion or memorandum written by a local judge about an interesting issue should be brought to my attention.
Thanks.

Program in Woodland Hills
Dear All:
I invite each of you to attend the San Fernando Valley Bar Association Bankruptcy Section’s November 28th panel program reviewing bankruptcy opinions during the past year from the Ninth Circuit. The panelists are experienced bankruptcy attorneys Jim Felton and Richard Gibson. Typically this program brings in many attorneys who also speak with some personal knowledge about the cases being reviewed and they offer additional color. There will be a lot of comments and feedback during the program. No promises but I will try to get a Woodland Hills to attend the program.
Here are the particulars:
