Background on the National Bankruptcy Conference, its logo, and where to find its public record.
The Conference, in its own words.
The National Bankruptcy Conference is a small, nonpartisan, self-funded group of sixty lawyers, academics, and judges committed to bankruptcy reform. It first came together at the urging of Congress in the 1930s, and played an instrumental role in the 1938 Chandler Act and every major piece of bankruptcy legislation since then.
