Free ASBPE Webinar: Reporting on bankruptcies
The right to get a chance at a fresh start for yourself or for your business is guaranteed in the Constitution itself. Even freedom of the press had to wait until the First Amendment was ratified. But how does it work? Register now for the Aug. 6 webcast.
This webinar will cover:
- The special courts that hear most business bankruptcy cases
- Chapter 7 bankruptcies versus Chapters 11 and 13
- Why those revolutionaries had the right idea, and why Europe, with different laws and attitudes, has allowed bad bankruptcy and foreclosure policies to hold back recovery
- Why banks can’t declare bankruptcy!
- Where the law has produced unfair results
- Who gets to pick over a dead company’s bones ahead of the pack
- Why newspapers had little to fear from bankruptcy court in this depression
- … and more!
The stories that come out of bankruptcy proceedings can be compelling and clear – or muddled, or distracted by the rantings of creditors who are unlikely to collect anything anyway. Get your stories into the clear!
