Marisa and Keith: I would be happy to do this November 18 or in December. Although I am somewhat familiar with the reaffirmation process and considerations, I am sure I would benefit from any training. Is the training done on the job, or beforehand?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Jason

Dear Colleagues -- and especially CDCBAA's newer attorneys:
Here is an excellent way to network with other attorneys in our bankruptcy field and to get trained in an area of consumer bankruptcy law. Please consider volunteering for part of a day at the Roybal Federal Building in Public Counsel's Volunteer Attorney Program.
