About the Session

This program will unpack recent decisions addressing the scope of a bankruptcy court’s post-confirmation subject matter jurisdiction, focusing on “related to” jurisdiction over potential claims, causes of action, and other disputes. The panel will explain the holdings and where courts draw the line to avoid creating “unending” post-confirmation jurisdiction. The panel will translate these lessons into practical drafting tips and other helpful practice points.

Panelists:

  • Hon. Craig T. Goldblatt, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Dover, Delaware
  • Hon. Elizabeth L. Gunn, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia, Washington, DC
  • Dennis L. Jenkins, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, New York, New York
  • John E. Lucian, Blank Rome LLP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

CLE credit is available.
