Robert Miller participated in the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges (NCBJ) Next Generation Program during the NCBJ’s Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada this October. The NCBJ NextGen program selects a small group of up-and-coming bankruptcy attorneys, “who show the potential to distinguish themselves in future years as highly respected members of the bankruptcy bar,” to interface directly with over 20 bankruptcy judges on a variety of topics including oral advocacy, written advocacy, and best practices. To qualify for participation in the program, a nominee must: (i) have five to ten years of experience practicing law; (ii) devote at least fifty percent of his/her practice to bankruptcy cases; (iii) demonstrate legal excellence in the practice of bankruptcy law; (iv) display a serious commitment to principles of civility, ethics and professionalism; and (v) demonstrate commitment to the continued educational development of bankruptcy professionals and to professional activities that will benefit the public, members of the bar and the court system.
