The Bankruptcy Court Liaison Committee is looking for practicing attorneys who are interested in serving on the Committee. There will be several positions open to non-judiciary attorneys for the Committee’s next term, which commences in June 2008. The Bankruptcy Court Liaison Committee was formed to promote communication about court procedures, etiquette, filings and other issues; to assist the Court and attorneys in creating a more efficient environment; and to represent a diverse group of bankruptcy attorneys from the Chicago area. Additionally, the Committee members develop, participate in and support educational programs concerning issues affecting the bench, attorneys, financial institutions and consumers, including providing support for the local CARE Program and state law school participation in the ABI’s national moot court competition. The Committee also creates social opportunities to allow greater interaction between the Court and those who appear before it.

If you are interested, please send a letter expressing your interest in serving on the Committee and also send any other information that may be helpful to the Committee. Please submit your information to either Scott Alsterda or Terri Long no later than May 16, 2008, per the contact information below:
