The Short Case for Venue Reform

10/08/14
Today I had the opportunity to debate venue reform at the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges in Chicago.   We had two excellent teams of debaters.   Arguing for the pro-reform position were Prof. Samir Parikh, retired Bankruptcy Judge Leif Clark and myself.   The pro-status quo team consisted of Prof. Douglas Baird, retired Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Gonzalez and Dennis DeFranceschi of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A.   Jamie Sprayregen of Kirkland & Ellis moderated the debate.  We had a good, vigorous debate.
