Join nearly 600 leading bankruptcy practitioners and bankruptcy judges from the New York metro region and around the country at the Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Gala Awards in New York City. One of the major social events of the New York-area bankruptcy bench and bar, this year’s event promises plenty of informal networking and excitement as we celebrate the next generation of insolvency professionals.

The Gala Awards celebration is the culminating event of the annual Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition, sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institute and St. John’s University School of Law.

As the COVID-19 landscape continues to evolve, so too must ABI’s safety policies for in-person events. ABI’s priority for all conferences and events is the safety and welfare of our attendees, partners, and team. ABI and St. John’s are requiring that in-person attendees show proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to gain admittance to the Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition Awards Gala. This is in full compliance with the City of New York and the policy set forth by the hotel venue for the event – the Downtown New York Marriott.

Proof of vaccination (with a valid form of identification) means proof of receipt of at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use or licensed for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or authorized for emergency use by the World Health Organization.
