Last night I wrapped-up a two-part lecture on bankruptcy plan confirmation for Gary Marsh’s Complex Restructuring course at Emory Law.

March 29, 2024 Bankruptcy Quiz
(From Dave’s SCOTUS Stash)
Two weeks ago, I promised to get back to Bankruptcy Quizzes, but on an every other week basis. Unfortunately for my Spring Break, I had an emergency Chapter 11 filing today that had me up at 3:30 a.m. Thus, lacking time but wanting to make good on my promise, here’s this
Embarrassing but Important Correction
As you know from prior posts, if I do anything well, then it’s public self-deprecation. And, thus, I’m embarrassed to admit that I wrongly attributed the In re Carter (Bankr. N.D. Ga.

Revisiting the Chicago Cubs’ Bankruptcy
Plan Proponent has been on an unplanned, one month hiatus due to competing client demands. But today I get a break, as I’m hanging out in Chicago this weekend with my best friend who retired at 46 and travels around the country, nomad style.
This month, he and his wife are in residence 47 floors

Happy New Year! – Looking Back on 25 Years of Professional Websites – Part 2
Welcome back to my multi-part New Year’s post.
As I mentioned in Part 1, as Stone & Baxter was wrapping up its 25th year and Plan Proponent posted its 99th post in 2021, I thought it would be fun use the Wayback Machine to take a look back at how professional websites—law firm sites,
