Professor Ellias’s article, “Bankruptcy Hardball,” which examines several bankruptcy case studies in which debtors leverage the bankruptcy process to gain a strategic advantage over creditors, will serve as a springboard for a lively discussion about the role of bankruptcy courts in advancing or curtailing the ability of debtors to restructure obligations to creditors and other constituents.

ABA Journal

September 1, 2019

"When the ABA Journal named the first class of Legal Rebels 10 years ago, the legal industry was undergoing rapid transformation. The Great Recession had brought about radical structural changes to the way customers and clients demanded legal services. Attorneys, as they are wont to do, were slow to adapt. There were some within the legal industry, however, who were ahead of the curve, and the Journal set out to spotlight those innovators and visionaries. At the time, the big question was whether these outliers would become part of the establishment within a decade’s time.

Ten years later, it’s clear that many of the same issues that drove the original class of Legal Rebels to look for solutions outside the mainstream are still prevalent. Access to justice remains a major obstacle for a vast majority of Americans. While technology has become an integral part of many lawyers’ practices, it is still viewed with suspicion or ignorance by a large swath of the legal industry."

ABA Journal

A Utah task force is proposing a “regulatory sandbox” to allow experimentation with nonlawyer ownership of legal businesses and nonlawyer investment in law firms.

New legal services providers would test their services in the regulatory sandbox, overseen by a new regulatory body that gathers data and tests revisions before granting permanent legal services licenses, according to the recommendations made by the Utah Work Group on Regulatory Reform.
