Over 300 attendees enjoyed some Southern hospitality and a great lineup of CLE sessions.

Decker of Alvarez & Marsal Corporate Finance in Atlanta moderated the panel which included Russell M. Blain of Stichter, Riedel, Blain & Prosser, PA in Tampa, Hon. Mary Grace Diehl, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Georgia, and Ira L. Herman of Thompson & Knight LLP in New York. The materials from the session included summaries of a number of orders by courts in the Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits.
