[CLBS] 341 Hearings Needed?

[Matthew Christensen]

I ditto Blair.  There will be a few cases where a face-to-face meeting may be warranted.  However, those are few and far between, and the Trustee can easily continue the meeting and make it clear that the next one is face to face.

Frankly, I'm all for it!  It's far more efficient, easier on the clients and the attorneys, and from my view, the trustees still get all of the information they request.  I would believe if a trustee believes they need a face-to-face, they can continue that meeting on an as-needed basis to have one.  Most cases wouldn't require that.

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.
