On October 7, 2015, I had the privilege of co-sponsoring a “Brown Bag” lunch meeting at the Nassau County Bar Association on mediation in bankruptcy cases. In conjunction with the ADR Committee, the Bankruptcy Committee that I chair worked with the Honorable Alan S. Trust and the Honorable Louis A. Scarcella, sitting bankruptcy judges in the Eastern District of New York, and practitioners Leslie A. Berkoff, Esq. and Andrew M. Thaler, Esq. to lead the discussion. Topics discussed included procedures for assigning cases to mediation, the role of the mediator, the purpose of meditation and the potential benefits of mediation.
