The 6th Annual American Bankruptcy Institute/Tulane University Law School Litigation Skills Symposium will be held at the Tulane Law School in New Orleans, May 15-18, 2007.

The four-day Symposium offers insolvency practitioners a rare opportunity to gain critical skills in a unique learn-by-doing environment. The Symposium combines quality instruction with individualized critique. The expert faculty demonstrates the specific advocacy skills necessary to be an effective practitioner.

The workshops include live performances by lay and expert witnesses. The final-day mock trials will be held at the Hale Boggs Federal Courthouse. The entire program is extremely work-intensive and interactive for both the attendees and faculty. Enrollment is limited to the first 24 registered practitioners to maximize the learning experience.
