Welcome,

On behalf of our distinguished faculty, we are pleased to invite you to attend the First Chicago Consumer Bankruptcy Conference, July 24, in Chicago, Illinois.

The educational program has been developed to provide an interactive learning experience for consumer practitioners of all levels, led by a faculty of bankruptcy judges and locally prominent lawyers. The conference format emphasizes the discussion of relevant consumer insolvency issues between the faculty and the participants.

The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) is the nation’s largest association of insolvency professionals, with more than 10,000 members nationwide. ABI is also the leading provider of continuing legal education (CLE) in the bankruptcy field.

Up to 6.5 hours of CLE credit can be earned at this unique and affordable opportunity for participants to network with other practitioners, discuss salient issues with bankruptcy judges and learn from experts who practice in the area. In addition, registrants will receive written materials including ABI’s new publication, Fundamentals of Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, authored by Thomas J. Yerbich.

The conference will be held at Chicago-Kent College of Law, conveniently located in downtown Chicago. Founded in 1888, Chicago-Kent is a national leader in continuing legal and professional education, recognized for the excellence of its faculty and curricular innovation.

Sincerely,

Brian L. Shaw
