Cases
February 1, 2005, Alexandria, Va. — The
American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) announces the publication of the
winter issue of ABI’s
Law Review (Volume 12, No. 2),
featuring timely articles on hot topics. Former Judge Ronald Barliant,
Dimitri G. Karcazes and Anne M. Sherry of Goldberg, Kohn,
Bell, Black, Rosenbloom
& Moritz (Chicago) write on strategies surrounding
pre-packaged asbestos bankruptcies, predicting the recent result from
the Third Circuit in Combustion
Engineering.
Carmen H. Lonstein and Steven A. Domanowski of
Bell, Boyd & Lloyd LLC
(Chicago) continue the
Supreme Court’s dialogue on the proper interest rate to apply in
an article titled “Payment of Post-petition Interest to Unsecured
Creditors: Federal Judgment Rate versus Contract Rate.”
Anthony Michael Sabino of Sabino & Sabino P.C.
(Mineola,
N.Y.) writes on another hotly
contested issue in today’s cases, namely how to keep
ERISA-qualified pension plans out of the reach of creditors in
bankruptcy cases.
Environmental cases from 2004 are reviewed in an
article by Prof. Ingrid M. Hillinger of
Boston
College and Prof. Michael G.
Hillinger of Southern New England
School of
Law.
A new article on the bankruptcy reform process by
Prof. John E. Matejkovic of the
University of
Akron and Keith Rucinski of
the Office of the Chapter 13 Trustee
(Akron,
Ohio) addresses the coming renewed
fight over a new bankruptcy bill.
