Post-It Note: Creditor’s Rights During Bankruptcy

As many of you know, I’ll occasionally use this blog as a place to post reminders or cites to cases for my own benefit. As you’ve seen in the past, I call those entries “Post-It Notes.”

I saw this CLE seminar and thought the content would be helpful (plus, it’s a good outline for any future Creditor’s Rights CLEs I might teach). It’s presented by NBI Seminars and is called “Creditor’s Rights in Bankruptcy.” It’s set for July 31, 2013.
