The bankruptcy court’s contempt order against a student loan servicer requiring it to pay off the entire amount of the debtor’s student loan was punitive rather than compensatory or coercive and, therefore, the award exceeded the court’s civil contempt power. Great Lakes Educ. Loan Serv. Inc. v. Leary, No. 20-8050 (S.D.N.Y. June 22, 2021).

We are excited to share that NACBA has launched a NEW website and membership database. Effective Wednesday, June 23, 2021, our new website features a modern and sleek design that offers an intuitive navigational structure. The site effectively allows us to deliver the latest NACBA news and announcements, showcase our professional development and consumer bankruptcy attorney events (in-person and virtual), and better tell the NACBA story. 

Even more exciting, the new website allows for registration at NACBA's 2021 Members-Only Workshop taking place November 30 through December 3 in Kauai, Hawaii!
