In-person Event Mission Point Resort 6633 Main St Mackinac Island, MI 49757

The Bankruptcy Steering Committee for the Bankruptcy Section of the Western Michigan Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is hosting the 2025 FBA Bankruptcy Seminar at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, beginning Friday, July 25.

Warner Norcross + Judd Partner <a href="https://www.wnj.com/people/susan-m-cook/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Susan M. Cook</a> will participate on the afternoon panel discussion “Important Pre-Code SCOTUS Opinions: Vestigial or Vital?” She will be joined by Hon. Paul R. Hage of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and Hon. John T. Gregg of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Michigan.

The panel description reads: “They say the past is prologue, so don't take a pass on this panel. The anthropological trio of Hage-Gregg-Cook is prepared to dig into the pre-Code past. What opinions did the High Court issue before 1978? Are these rulings now vestigial remnants of our evolution as bankruptcy lawyers (like the appendix we once used to digest grasses on the plains), or do they still perform vital functions in our modern lives? Is there any meat on the old bones? Bring your shovels to this panel and help the experts unearth our past!”

Cook is an attorney with nearly 45 years of experience in the areas of bankruptcy, business reorganization, commercial litigation and business transactions. She has represented distressed businesses of all types, including automotive, health care and hospitality, in both bankruptcy and out-of-court reorganizations.

Cook is a Fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy and has served on several committees for the American Bankruptcy Institute. In 2016, she received the Federal Bar Association Barbara J. Rom Award for Excellence in Bankruptcy.

The 37th Annual Bankruptcy Summer Seminar runs from July 25 - 27 and includes educational sessions, case law review and networking opportunities on the island.
