Our presenters will be speaking on the Milavetz v. U.S. case. Their firm represented the Milavetz plaintiff in a constitutionally-based challenge to portions of BAPCPA, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act.

In Milavetz v. U.S., a divided panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis invalidated a section of BAPCPA that prohibited “debt relief agencies”—which include attorneys—from advising clients to “incur more debt in contemplation” of filing bankruptcy.  The Court of Appeals held the challenged part of section 526(a)(4) was “unconstitutionally overbroad” and a violation of the First Amendment.

Please join us for the Section's Annual Meeting and an inside analysis of the Milavetz case and its implications for bankruptcy practice.

Please register by Friday, May 15, 2009.
