This program provides a general overview of the bankruptcy system, including the different types of chapters, key concepts, and how bankruptcy proceedings can intersect with other areas of law. Designed for non-bankruptcy practitioners, this CLE will help attorneys better understand the basics and recognize issues that may arise when bankruptcy becomes part of a client’s legal landscape.
