The ABLJ is proud to announce its 2026 edition of the Roundtable Series: Where the Rubber Meets the Road: Practical Questions for Bankruptcy Scholars

Looking Back to Look Ahead

Do bankruptcy judges simply apply the Bankruptcy Code and Rules or do they sometimes make law that Congress later enacts or the Supreme Court by Rule later adopts? In recognition of the 100th Anniversary of the NCBJ and its journal, join the ABLJ to hear "Looking Back to Look Ahead" at which one of our judges will discuss with a few bankruptcy scholars this “play in the joints” between Congress, the Supreme Court, and the bankruptcy courts.

First Session: Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET

Moderator: Judge Judith Fitzgerald (ret.)

Academics: Professors Skeel, Lubben, and Grohsgal
