Last night I wrapped-up a two-part lecture on bankruptcy plan confirmation for Gary Marsh’s Complex Restructuring course at Emory Law. Without this blog, I likely wouldn’t have had that neat opportunity over the last few years, and I certainly wouldn’t have had so much Judge Drake content to fill up six hours of class

March 29, 2024 Bankruptcy Quiz
(From Dave’s SCOTUS Stash)
Two weeks ago, I promised to get back to Bankruptcy Quizzes, but on an every other week basis. Unfortunately for my Spring Break, I had an emergency Chapter 11 filing today that had me up at 3:30 a.m. Thus, lacking time but wanting to make good on my promise, here’s this…
Embarrassing but Important Correction
As you know from prior posts, if I do anything well, then it’s public self-deprecation. And, thus, I’m embarrassed to admit that I wrongly attributed the In re Carter (Bankr. N.D. Ga. Dec. 13, 2023) Sub V opinion to Judge Sage Sigler (Bankr. N.D. Ga.) instead of Judge Jeffery Cavender (Bankr. N.D. Ga.). How did I…
March 15, 2024 Bankruptcy Quiz
I’m attending the annual Southeastern Bankruptcy Law Institute (SBLI) seminar in Atlanta this week. So many folks (read: maybe two people) asked me why I stopped doing the weekly bankruptcy quizzes. Worse, Prof. Ishaq Kundawala (the Southeastern Bankruptcy Law Institute and W. Homer Drake Jr. Endowed Chair in Bankruptcy Law at Mercer Law) couldn’t make…

February 12, 2024 will mark Plan Proponent’s 9th Anniversary. Back in the early days, I’d be holed-up in Jessica’s parents’ basement in Potomac on New Year’s Eve preparing a Year in Review Top 10 List. Of…

U.S. Supreme Court Hears Oral Argument in Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Appeal
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy appeal and, as a result, we might be approaching a mid-2024 “finish line” for an issue that some bankruptcy practitioners, professors, and judges are on the edge of their seats about: Do bankruptcy courts have…
Happy Thanksgiving from Plan Proponent!
Eight years ago, in Plan Proponent’s inaugural year, I did my first and, until today, only pure Thanksgiving post (including now 13 year old Kate B’s above turkey art). For 2021 Thanksgiving, I posted Part 3 of the Judge Drake Tribute Series, but that doesn’t count.
A pure post is difficult. While “Thanksgiving” is…
