Join us at the University of Illinois College of Law for the third annual Illinois DREAMS!
The program will feature the launch of Professor Pamela Foohey’s Forgive Us Our Debts, exploring the human stories behind financial distress and the critical role bankruptcy professionals play in helping individuals and businesses achieve fresh starts. Students will also gain firsthand insight into careers in restructuring and insolvency practice, clerkship and externship opportunities, and the importance of mentorship and sponsorship from judges, practitioners, and industry leaders. Through engaging panel discussions, speed networking, and a closing reception, attendees will have the opportunity to build meaningful professional relationships and discover the many pathways available within the insolvency community.
