The symposium, which is open to the public, will provide an opportunity to assess the effect of the 2005 Act nearly two years after becoming law, and feature a range of speakers close to the legislation and its effects.

Panel discussions will cover means testing, credit counseling, and attorney liability issues. The keynote address will be given by Brady Williamson, Chair of the Bankruptcy Commission, and United States Bankruptcy Judge Eugene Wedoff, from Chicago, who largely created the means test forms and who is known nationally both for his consumer bankruptcy expertise as well as for being the judge who has the United Airlines case.
