With the Supreme Court due to hear oral argument on a critical bankruptcy case on January 14, ABI has released the following free video preview of the upcoming High Court bankruptcy cases. This 75 minute program features ABI Resident Scholar Kara Bruce talking with noted appellate advocate and law professor Eric Brunstad (Dechert LLP; Hartford, Conn.). Eric has argued many cases before the Court and is an expert in bankruptcy appellate practice. He discusses in depth Law v.

A panel of experts will summarize and discuss the legal impact and practical implications of the Supreme Court’s 2012 decisions in Radlax and Hall. How does Radlax impact sale plans? Why does the Hall decision make asset sales more problematic and what is its broader impact? What do these cases tell us about how to brief and argue bankruptcy appeals? Hear ABI’s panel of experts’ insights into these significant cases.

This panel will discuss all decisions interpreting Stern v Marshall.

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.
