Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Hello Everyone:
A client, who owns an insurance agency, filed for ch 7 bk. The client's business basically consists of what's called a "book of business" where the client spends 8-9 hours every day calling the existing clients to explain the services and to make sure the clients are happy. Otherwise, they could swith to another agency. At a recent 341 hearing in WH, the trustee asked the client about the number of policies in existence in 2008 that were renewed in 2009. The client gave an approximate figure and based on that the trustee is now stating that the 2010 renewals for any policy existing on the date of filing are part of the bk estate. I reviewed the code defining "property of the estate" and subsection (6) states that the property of estate includes "Proceeds, product, offspring, rents, or profits of or from property of the estate, except such as are earnings from services performed by an individual debtor after the commencement of the case." The client is
stating that in order for 90% of the exisitng policies to be renewed, he needs to "service" each policy by calling the clients every day, explaining different products, offering better terms, and doing everything to keep them happy and to ensure another renewal. Unless, I'm misreading the code section, I want to let the trustee know that because the client needs to spent his time and labor on most of these policies to ensure renewals, the renewals should NOT be considered part of bk estate per language of subsection 6 (is this correct??). Did anyone have a similar experience or know how to handle it? I need to provide the information to trustee by next week. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Andrew,
Despite the general tone of your email, you offer several helpful suggestions, so thank you for that.
IMO, I'm sure almost all questions can probably be answered through independent research. Sometimes, though it's nice to be able to ask a question to the group and get a substantive response. Isn't that one of the purposes of this listserv? This reminds me of a joke, something to the effect of "everyone that drives slower than me are idiots and everyone that drives faster is a crazy nut."
Maybe there needs to be a separate listserv for newbies and advanced practitioners. In the meantime, though, how about you filter to trash emails that contain "newbie" in the subject heading as well as emails from known newbies? That way, you may be able to avoid getting upset on a Sunday morning and avoid the risk of offending us newbies by calling us opportunistic and lazy.

Bankruptcy practice is not really comparable to or like civil litigation. Representing debtors today is more like emergency trauma surgery than it is the practice of law. Preparation of the Schedules requires not only a full understanding of multiple practice areas and areas of law, but also the ability to merge legal theories and consequences into court filed documents that fully, completely and accurately set forth facts supported by client documents and documentation that are in horrible condition as far as record keeping. This is the most difficult concept that "newbies" have to get their arms around. Keep with it, give it time, ask questions, find a mentor to assist you, and bankruptcy practice will become more understandable.

> I don't thin all of the answers are out there. I've been practicing civil litigation for 14 years and virtually every procedural question could be answered with the Rutter Guide. I have yet to find anything comparable in bk (not even the Rutter Guide on bk). The Civ Pro Rutter Guide will basically take you paragraph by paragraph as to what needs to be in a complaint. There is nothing that I've found that does the same with the schedules. And there are very few "practice pointers" to be found in the books. I have spent over $1k on books and am still struggling to find answers to many questions. I think that this is more like rocket science than civ litigation. I certainly have a new perspective on all the civil litigators that I've called idiots in my time as now I am one of them in the bk world. I don't think that anyone on here is asking questions in bad faith (I.e., without prior thought or research). And, I don't think that a separate listserv or a mentor/mentee listserv is a good idea. Maybe Mr. Hayes could then certify which questions are appropriate for the larger forum.

How about this format suggestion for submitting a question to the ListServ, as an example:
1. Brief Factual Summary: I represent a debtor who will be filing a chapter 13 case and am concerned about whether by determining the value of the residential property between the first and the second the debtor will be over the debt limits.
2. Research Result: My research has led me to understand that several judges rely upon a motion, while others an adversary proceeding. Also, Judge Tighe's Smith case leads me to believe that the wholly undersecured second would push the client over the limit.
3A. Issue: Which judges rely upon motions and which adversary proceedings.
3B. Issue: How should I address Judge Tighe's Smith case and its pending appeal if I want to argue that the wholly undersecured second does not cause the debtor to exceed the unsecured debt limit.

Andrew,
Despite the general tone of your email, you offer several helpful
suggestions, so thank you for that.
IMO, I'm sure almost all questions can probably be answered through
independent research. Sometimes, though it's nice to be able to ask a
question to the group and get a substantive response. Isn't that one of the
purposes of this listserv? This reminds me of a joke, something to the
effect of "everyone that drives slower than me are idiots and everyone that
drives faster is a crazy nut."
Maybe there needs to be a separate listserv for newbies and advanced
practitioners. In the meantime, though, how about you filter to trash
emails that contain "newbie" in the subject heading as well as emails from
known newbies? That way, you may be able to avoid getting upset on a Sunday
morning and avoid the risk of offending us newbies by calling us
opportunistic and lazy.

Great points all around, Christine!
As much as I've looked, though I could have easily missed something, I haven't been able to find the step-by-step action guide for bankruptcy practice, especially within the context of a motion or AP practice. It seems these are trade secrets passed down from mentor to mentee.
If there is something like this, please point us in the right direction.

With all due respect, the clerks have so much work to do and so many pleadings to process they really have NO time to mentor or teach young or lazy (no offense) lawyers who are either new to bankruptcy, want to become bankruptcy lawyers because of the "nature of the times". The court with the assistance of the Bar went through more than a year ago and re-wrote the Local Bankruptcy Rules and created a Court Manual. The CDCBAA put pon a GREAT program in January 2009 explaining the changes in the Rules. When I was a younger bk lawyer, if I didn't understand how to file or obtain a hearing date, I READ the Local Rules or perhaps asked my secretary or a more seasoned lawyer.
