Distinguished Bankruptcy Law Students

The College Education Committee recommended that the College establish a program to identify law students of demonstrated talent and interest in bankruptcy law to attend the College’s Induction Ceremony at the U.S. Supreme Court and other events held every spring. The College Regents and their Circuit Councils are asked to contact and work with the law schools within their respective circuits to select the students. They will also be asked to provide mentors for the students who are chosen. The mentors will be responsible to assure that the students are fully involved in the Annual Meeting activities and meet other Fellows.
