Just spent all day today and all day yesterday at the Minnesota Continuing Legal Education’s Bankruptcy Institute. For me the best part was this afternoon, a presentation about the preparation and amendment of Chapter 13 plans.<\/p>\n
It was also just good to reconnect with some of my fellow bankruptcy lawyers. Things are getting really complicated out there. Some of the judges and trustees were expressing frustration with a number of younger and inexperienced recent law school graduates who have not been acclimated to the level of professionalism that’s required. Apparently there is some concern that clients are being abandoned by their lawyers.<\/p>\n
To try to combat this the judges of the district are about to order a new procedure – from my point of view just another form that must be completed before filing. This one is going to be a long list of duties and responsibilities – one list for the lawyer and the other for the client. It’s going to be food for conversation to say the least. <\/p>\n
I’ll have more to say about the new form once I have actually started working with it.<\/p>\n
More later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
