October 26, 2020
Please join us via Zoom for back-to-back programs.October 26, 2020
Starting at 4 p.m., we will be putting on a “Bankruptcy 101” program geared primarily toward newer attorneys, nonbankruptcy

troubled times, whether on the creditor side or the debtor side.
attorneys, in-house counsel, and business people who may be faced with insolvency issues in these
troubled times, whether on the creditor side or the debtor side.
Immediately following the first program, starting at 5 p.m., we will have a presentation on California’s newly enacted
homestead exemption. The panelists have prepared a deep dive into the newly-enacted California homestead
amounts based on each California county’s medium home prices, with a base of $300,000 and a cap of
$600,000. The panelists will address numerous questions raised by the new law: What is the primary motivation for
these changes? When do these amounts become effective? What effects are presented on individual cases in the
various chapter proceedings? What are the direct legal and economic impacts on creditors, judgment lien holders
(for instance, under 11 U.S.C. section 522(f)), and confirmation requirements in Chapter 13 cases and individual
Chapter 11 and Subchapter V cases? What are some of the consequences, both intended and unintended, with
respect to these amount adjustments?

His most recent books are, We the People: A Progressive Reading of the Constitution for the Twenty-First Century (Picador Macmillan) published in November 2018, and two books published by Yale University Press in 2017, Closing the Courthouse Doors: How Your Constitutional Rights Became Unenforceable and Free Speech on Campus (with Howard Gillman).
