New Lawyers' Committee

The New Lawyers' Committee of the Debtor Creditor Section was created by the Debtor Creditor Section as an opportunity for the Section to reach lawyers that are “new” to the practice of bankruptcy and debtor/creditor law, and one of the New Lawyers' Committee's objectives is to provide educational and networking opportunities and resources to lawyers new to the bankruptcy and debtor/creditor practice. For more information about the New Lawyers' Committee please contact Natalie Carol Scott at nscott@mb-lawoffice.com or Kevin W. Spence at kevin.spence@gmail.com.
