The mission of the Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum is to be the leading educational
and networking resource for bankruptcy and insolvency professionals in the Central
District of California, and particularly in Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley
and Santa Barbara.
The purposes and objectives of the Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum are: to promote the highest standards in the practice of bankruptcy and insolvency law; to provide educational programs and related services; to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information relating to the courts, substantive law, current and proposed legislation, local rules, federal rules, and other areas of practice and procedure arising in connection with insolvency or bankruptcy law.
The Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum's membership is diverse. Members include bankruptcy
judges, attorneys, and other professionals (including accountants, receivers,
trustees, assignees, auctioneers, management and turnaround specialists). The
Clerk of the Court and the United States Trustee actively participate in the
Forum. This diversity ensures a balanced approach to education and practice
issues and provides opportunities for networking among a wide cross-section
of the local insolvency community.
Members of the Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum meet every two months at a dinner
program held in Los Angeles. Panelists (often including bankruptcy judges) provide
education and instruction to our insolvency practitioners.
The Los Angeles Bankruptcy Forum is affiliated with and a major supporter of
the California Bankruptcy Forum. The CBF
produces an annual statewide conference for California's insolvency community
and publishes the California Bankruptcy
Journal.
The Forum sponsors this web site (http://labankruptcyforum.org), the calender site of http://bankruptcydog.com, and honors our co-founder, Joseph Bernfeld, with a special lecture in the first quarter of every year.
