The Machines are Here: Train, Tame, and Thrive (AI Panel)
Sunday August 9, 2026 1:30pm - 2:30pm EDT
TBA
AI is everywhere - do you know how to spot it or use it? Join us for an eye-opening session on how artificial intelligence is reshaping bankruptcy practice for attorneys, debtors, and trustees alike, from the alarming surge in AI-hallucinated case law and fictitious statutes showing up in pro se filings to the discovery opportunities those filings may now unlock. You'll walk away with the practical prompting framework and real-world trustee workflows for using AI at every stage of a case - 341(a) prep, live meeting support, preference/fraudulent transfer analysis, and document drafting to support final reports. Whether you're AI-curious or AI-skeptical, this session gives you the tools to work smarter, protect your cases, and stay one step ahead in an era where surface-level sophistication can fool even experienced practitioners.

Deadlines Matter!—Important Considerations under the Code and Rules:
This presentation provides a comprehensive review of deadlines in Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, with a focus on the consequences of missing them and the available avenues for relief. The session is designed for Chapter 7 trustees and bankruptcy attorneys who regularly encounter deadline-driven practice issues. The presentation covers the legal standards governing deadline extensions, the critical distinction between jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional deadlines, and practical guidance for trustees administering Chapter 7 estates.

Default Judgements:
Some lawyers think they are entitled to a judgment or order simply because the opposing party failed to answer or respond. But not so fast! This session will discuss how to properly plead a complaint and how to properly serve it to set you up for taking a default judgment in the event of no response, plus discuss the process of obtaining a default judgment.
