The Bankruptcy Section set the Summer off with its End of Summer Happy Hour on September 2, 2021. The event was held at Dr. Scofflaw’s Brewing in the Upper Westside’s newest development, The Works, and was attended by over 30 section members. The attendees enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with fellow members as well as the wonderful food and drinks. Thank you to everyone who joined us for these events!
