Bankruptcy Basics for Low-Income Clients 2015
Sponsored by Practising Law Institute
This basic program was developed for brand new practitioners and those who are either not familiar with the practice or have not practiced bankruptcy law since the passage of BAPCPA. The program hopes to develop practitioners who will volunteer their time and skills to those who cannot afford representation. The program will focus on Chapter 7 bankruptcy, from the day a new client walks into your office, to the day you receive notice that they have successfully received a discharge and their case is closed.
What You Will Learn:
- An overview of Chapter 7 bankruptcy
- Duties and due diligence of the attorney
- How the discharge works and the effectiveness of the automatic stay
- How to protect the debtor’s property through exemptions
- An overview of the means test
- Issues to be aware of and understand

- Chair: Sally J. Elkington ~ Elkington Law
- Carl R. Gustafson ~ Lincoln Law
