Senior Fellows

Senior Fellows Project

In 2023, the Senior Fellows Committee launched an initiative in coordination with the Bankruptcy History Committee to collect the stories of Fellows who have been in the insolvency field for 40+ years. In roughly 1,000 words, the stories explain:

  • How and why you got involved in bankruptcy matters;
  • Who, if anyone, were your early mentors; and
  • Which referees or judges presided over your cases.

If you would like to participate, please email your submissions to Jenny Cudahy at jcudahy@amercol.org. To date,  almost 130  Fellows have contributed to this project. Read on to learn about the origin stories of the following Fellows:
