Ben Reznik to be Honored by Jewish World Watch

Ben and I worked together a long time ago, very early in my career.  I’m happy to pass on the information on the program.

From the flyer,

Ben Reznik, with his wife, Janice Kamenir-Reznik, was a critical moving force in helping to establish Jewish World Watch nearly 15 years ago in response to the Darfuri genocide. He has been a leader for decades in the Los Angeles business and real estate communities as well as in the Jewish community.  Read more…

San Fernando Valley Bar Assn to Honor Judge Geraldine Mund

Email from Steve Fox,

Dear All:

The bankruptcy section is not conducting a meeting in February.  We will be back soon with some really good programs.

At the SFVBA’s annual judge’s night event on Thursday February 22, 2018 , Judge Mund is being honored.  The program will have a number of bankruptcy judges in attendance (along with state court judges) and it would be great to have a lot of bankruptcy attorneys in attendance for Judge Mund.

Judge Meredith Jury’s Comments at the cdcbaa Ashland Awards Dinner

Judge Jury received the cdcbaa award as Judge of the Year at our annual Ashland Awards dinner last month.   Her comments were epic and the award so well deserved.  Luckily I was able to track down someone who taped her statement on an IPhone (or something).  I had the comments transcribed with Judge Jury’s permission and posted on the cdcbaa website.  You can read her statement here.   It is one of my greatest honors to count her as a friend.

Dear Faculty, Students, and Alums,

The University of West Los Angeles School of Law is pleased to announce it will host the 2018 Roger J. Traynor California Appellate Moot Court Competition on April 14-15, 2018 at the LAX campus of the law school.

Moot court is an extracurricular activity at most established law schools in which law students, competing as teams, take part in simulated appellate court proceedings.  Students draft written briefs and present oral argument to a panel of judges in a format that follows rules and procedures that apply to actual appellate litigation.

Thanks and Tip of the Hat to NCBJ

I attended my first National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges Annual meeting in Las Vegas a few weeks ago.   They comped me because of my position on the State Bar Bankruptcy Specialists Commission.  The programs were great, the materials were great, the camaraderie with the judges was great.  I especially enjoyed sitting in on the ABI Consumer Commission meeting.  I’m going to upload a little lesson I learned on LLCs in the next day or two.  Next year the program is in San Antonio – see you there.
