Dear All:
Welcome back to the SFVBA Bankruptcy Section programs! We are starting this season (through June) with a perennial and a real popular program – Fascinating tentative opinions from the judges sitting at the Woodland Hills Bankruptcy Court. There is a lot of good material this year and attending attorneys will learn a lot. The panel includes Yi Sun Kim and Jeremy Rothstein (both of Greenberg and Bass) and Andrew Goodman. They are well experienced and will have a lot of good insights.
This is the one program to which we do not invite the Woodland Hills judges. Sorry judges. Law clerks may attend.
Here are the particulars for the program: Read more…

Sixth Annual James T. King Bankruptcy Symposium
Supreme Court: In re Taggart, Discharge Violations
SPEAKERS:
Daniel L. Geyser, Dallas, Texas
Prof. Dan Bussel, University of California, Los Angeles, School of Law
M. Jonathan Hayes, Resnik Hayes Moradi, LLP
Dan Geyser argued the Taggart case before the Supreme Court in April, 2019 and of course obtained a badly needed reversal of the Ninth Circuit opinion. In fact, Dan argued four cases this year in front of the Supreme Court! He is a graduate of Harvard Law School and a very entertaining speaker.
Dan has argued the following cases before the Supreme Court:
His major cases at the circuit court of appeals level:
Prof. Dan Bussell teaches Bankruptcy and Contracts among other subjects at UCLA Law School. He is also a partner at Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanof & Stern LLP. Prof. Bussel received his law degree from Stanford Law School and clerked for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor after that. Published opinions in which Prof. Bussel served as appellate counsel include Stern v. Marshall (US Supreme Court); In re Penrod (US Supreme Court (on cert.) and 9th Cir.); Continental Insurance Co. v. Thorpe Insulation Co. (9th Cir. and US Supreme Court (on cert.)); and Motor Vehicle Insurance Co. v. Thorpe Insulation Co. (9th Cir.).
This will be an very entertaining discussion about the Supreme Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Taggart, the discharge injunction, violations of the automatic stay and perhaps some predictions about where the court and the law is going.

Dear All:
We practice law in a corner of the USA often without thinking about what the rest of the bankruptcy bar is doing. They have a lot of good idea what we in the Valley, debtor and creditor attorneys, can use.
Judge Sandra Klein, Cassandra Richey and Roksana Moradi-Brovia will examine cases from other bankruptcy courts and appellate courts to give us some sense of what the rest of the country is doing in bankruptcy. This is the type of program where you take notes because you get ideas which you can use in your own cases. The cases are intended to make you think.
The panelists are well known and well respected. Your time will be well spent. Here are the program particulars: Read more…

Dear All:
Friday of this week, the bankruptcy section of the SFVBA is presenting a panel (Judge Geraldine Mund, Dean Rallis and David S. Hagen). They will discuss, dissect and argue through 10 local cases (meaning in California) which have impacted bankruptcy practices of creditor attorneys, debtor attorneys and trustees. The cases go back to 1980 covering a wide range of consumer and business issues including lien stripping, personal liability for claims, enforceability of stipulations in subsequent proceedings and a conflict between the general presumption under Calif. law that property compulsory aquisition valuer during marriage is community property and CA. Evid. Code Section 662. These are ten cases which the panelists believe have had impact on our practices so this is not a year in review program. Read more…
