[CLBS] Bankruptcy Form Book

[Alexandra Caval]

?Everyone:


I am a board member for the Commercial Law & Bankruptcy Section. We are currently discussing the idea of a bankruptcy form book and we thought we'd see what the section thought about the merits of this idea. The idea behind the form book is to have a place to go to in order to find a template for various motions that you inevitably need during the life of a case such as motions to avoid judicial liens, extend the automatic stay, object to a proof of claim, convert a case, vacate a discharge, modify a plan, etc. (It's not a book about how to fill out the petition and schedules). Ultimately I'd like to see the form book cover chapter 7, 11 and 13. However, this project would take up board resources. As members of the CLB section, what are you thoughts on the idea of a bankruptcy form book? Do you even want one?


This topic is coming up for discussion at our next board meeting on the 19th and I'd love some feedback from you guys before then.


Sincerely,


Alexandra Caval
