[CLBS] 341 Hearings Needed?

[James Macdonald]

I am a big fan of the telephonic 341 meetings.  Save us all a ton of time and money.  Especially in the remote regions of the state.  Let's keep them going.

Regards,

For the sake of those interested, here is an article written by our Judge Pappas in the 1990s regarding 341 Hearings.

This was written for ABI and is copyrighted.

What are thoughts regarding the 341 Hearings and their telephonic nature?

Many of you are likely aware of discussions on the national level through the UST's office.  I also include an Orcutt Letter regarding the matter (as well as wet signatures).

I particularly prefer that debtors not need drive long distances to sit through a 341 docket, endure their 5-10 minutes, and then just drive back home.  This is especially true for clients who drive an hour or more, one way, to attend these hearings.  This is even more difficult when the hearings go longer than the scheduled times.
