Alan N. Resnick, Benjamin Weintraub Distinguished Professor of Bankruptcy Law, will moderate the "Arbitration and Bankruptcy" panel at the conference titled "ADR Meets Bankruptcy: Cross-Purposes or Cross-Pollination?" on October 2, 2009, sponsored by American Bankruptcy Institute Law Review, The Hugh L. Carey Center for Dispute Resolution and St. John University's Institute for Bankruptcy Policy.

This ground-breaking conference will bring together prominent scholars from the fields of
ADR and bankruptcy to investigate the ways that mediation and arbitration intersect
with bankruptcy. Drawing on the different perspectives that scholars from each field
bring, the conference will provide an opportunity for discussion to stimulate new
approaches in both ADR and bankruptcy.
