This luncheon plenary session will provide an overview of some of the most common evidentiary problems and miscues that come up in trial practice before the bankruptcy court, along with a number of trial evidentiary pointers and practice tips.
This interactive program will enable attendees to “vote their conscience” (with responders) on various ethical dilemmas, with panelists providing commentary after each question.
This panel will provide an update on procedural developments in bankruptcy cases, covering issues such as personal jurisdiction, service of process, and perhaps enforcement. There will also be an update on Stern and its practical implications.
The panel will discuss the “must know cases of all time”, judicial estoppels, equitable mootness, Barton doctrine, indubitable equivalence, finality, lien stripping, absolute priority rule, TOUSA and much more.
The key elements to trying contested matters are planning, writing effective pleadings, knowing rules of evidence, knowing when to use expert testimony and having a strong oral argument. The techniques, among others, are discussed in this panel.
