Provide historical discussions of the US Bankruptcy Code, from its inception to current trends in a post-BAPCPA world, with expert insights into future developments;

Explain that perhaps the most important thing for a debtor's lawyer to do (in a potential Chapter 11 case) is to start negotiating with your client's creditors early on so as to eliminate costs and unnecessary litigation;

Describe and demonstrate best practices that generate maximum asset protection for your debtor clients; and

Outline the complexity of bankruptcy court jurisdiction that creates impediments to efficient and economical reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.
