Blog Purpose and Rules

I. PURPOSE OF THE BLOG

The purpose of the NCBJ Conference Blog (the “Blog”) is to promote interest in and the success of the NCBJ Annual Conference (the “Conference”) by providing a dynamic resource for learning about all things related to the Conference. It will include postings about the venue, programs, presentations, receptions, and related topics. Contributors to the Blog may include bankruptcy judge members of the NCBJ, the NCBJ Technology Committee (the “Committee”), Conference affiliates, and other bankruptcy or insolvency professionals.

  2. Blog Administrators will approve submissions for posting to the Blog that are consistent with the purpose of the Blog and otherwise consistent with the Blog rules. The decision of the Blog Administrators whether to post a submission will be final.
