Nominations Now Being Accepted for October 2021

The NCBJ will host the 11th Next Generation Program at its Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, IN from October 6-9, 2021. The program will host 40 up-and-coming bankruptcy practitioners with 5 to 10 years of experience for special events that will be exclusively offered to NextGen participants, including:

• A judicial roundtable discussion in a small-group setting, designed to allow participants to “pick the brains” of bankruptcy judges from across the nation;
• A small-group lunch with an experienced bankruptcy practitioner who serves as a member of the Next Generation Committee;
• A networking reception and dinner to build contacts and relationships with Next Generation alumni;
• An opportunity to participate in a social outing to discover Indianapolis with other NextGen’rs and judges; and
• Opportunities to participate as panelists with judges and other practitioners in educational offerings during the NCBJ Annual Meeting

Nominations Now Accepted Now Until May 4th
Review Guidelines below:

Nominees should:

• Devote at least 50% of their practice to bankruptcy;
• Demonstrate legal excellence in the practice of bankruptcy law;
• Demonstrate a commitment to the continued educational development of bankruptcy professionals and professional activities that will benefit the public, members of the bar, and the court system; and
• Display a serious commitment to principles of civility, ethics, and professionalism.

Only one attorney from any single law firm may participate each year. The cost of attendance at the NCBJ Annual Meeting must be borne by the participant or his or her law firm, but no additional cost will be incurred to attend the Next Generation judicial roundtable or the networking or reunion receptions. There will be extra cost for the lunch, dinner, and social outing. Consistent with past years, a limited number of scholarships will be available to qualified candidates.
