As previously announced, the Court will be sponsoring a seminar for paralegals and other legal assistants to be held on Wednesday, September 28, 2005 commencing at 9:15 a.m. at the United States Bankruptcy Courthouse, 1100 Laurel Street (at the corner of Laurel and Assembly) in the 3rd floor courtroom. We expect a full day of informative presentations relating to the new Act and other issues, including topics such as requirements for filing cases, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 means test training, information from the Clerk’s Office regarding CM/ECF, scheduling, and other Clerk’s Office concerns, and miscellaneous substantive matters. It is suggested that you bring a calculator with you for use during the means test presentation.

Lunch will be on your own; we expect to adjourn by 4:00 or 4:30 p.m. The approval of CLE credit is anticipated for attendance. Any cost that may be associated with attendance will be minimal in order to cover the copying of any written materials.
