2011/2012 ANNUAL REPORT:

This Section was the first to utilize videoconferencing services (provided by Merrill LAD, at no charge to MSBA) for Section meetings so that members could attend the meeting at one of various locations. It provided: free education programs for its members through monthly brown bag luncheons held, via videoconference, in Baltimore, Rockville, and Greenbelt;an active electronic discussion group; and its electronic newsletter, The Hanging Paragraph, as well as online video seminars of sample pleadings and other materials, via the Section’s homepage. The Section also sponsored CLE courses on general bankruptcy matters and worked closely with the staff of the United States Bankruptcy Court by coordinating focus group discussions to assist the Court with unrepresented debtors in bankruptcy and supporting the Bankruptcy Court’s pro bono assistance program, the Debtor Assistance Project, and also provided coverage for bankruptcy clients whose attorneys became unavailable because of health, disciplinary, or other circumstances. It will present a program tailored for general practitioners at the MSBA Annual Meeting.
