MVLS Needs Your Help - MVLS has been unable to keep current with the volume of low income individuals that need bankruptcy attorney representation. MVLS currently has a number of bankruptcy clients that are in need of volunteer attorneys. Interested attorneys should contact Lawrence Burton with MVLS at (443) 451-4072. |

Low Bono and Deferred Payment Attorney Listing - Thanks to a wonderful collaboration between the USBC, BBA, MSBA, the MD Chapter 13 Trustees and MVLS, a new list of attorneys who are willing to accept low or deferred fee Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 cases with financial need is in the process of being created. The list will be maintained by the Bankruptcy Court and will be made available to individuals in need. For more information on this program and for instructions on how to get your name added to the list, please click here. |

The Maryland Bankruptcy Court
remains busy – notwithstanding that total bankruptcy filings
decreased by 14% from 2010. In 2011, 25,221 cases were filed. Of
this amount, 20,132 were chapter 7, 4,724 were chapter 13, and 180
were chapter 11. These statistics nearly mirror the total filings
for 2009. These numerous filings place a tremendous burden upon our
judges and court staff. The Bankruptcy Bar Association (BBA) works
closely with the court to help process and expedite these filings.
Among other things, BBA members volunteer their services at the
Debtor Assistance Project (DAP), helping unrepresented parties
comply with local rules and procedures. BBA members also help
educate members of the bar. In addition to providing monthly
educational programs, BBA members help train attorneys in bankruptcy
practice. The BBA’s annual Spring Break continuing legal education
program will be held on May 4-5, 2012 at the Loews Hotel in
Annapolis. We are fortunate to have the support and participation of
the judges of our court, as well as from the District of Columbia
and Eastern District of Virginia. We hope you will join us at this
worthwhile program and become active members of our association.
Sincerely,
Alan Eisler, President
