Chief Justice Roberts re-appoints Jeremy Retherford to National Committee on Bankruptcy Rules
Balch & Bingham is pleased to announce that U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has re-appointed Jeremy Retherford, partner in the firm’s Birmingham office and co-chair of the Financial Services Section to a second three-year term on the Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules to the Judicial Conference of the United States.
The Judicial Conference is the national policy-making body for the federal courts. The conference includes five standing advisory committees each charged with drafting proposed amendments to federal rules regarding their respective area. The committees include judges, representatives from the Department of Justice, law professors and practicing attorneys.
“Re-appointment to this committee is an incredible honor,” said Jeremy. “I am humbled to have the opportunity to continue to serve in an advisement capacity to the Judicial Conference.”
In this role, Jeremy will be at the forefront of bankruptcy policy and procedures. He will work with bankruptcy court judges, professors, and practitioners to shape bankruptcy procedure and policies.
Jeremy represents financial institutions, utilities, and other creditors faced with troubled credit. He has more than 18 years of experience working with clients at all stages of bankruptcy, ranging from enforcing clients’ rights and remedies after default, to counseling clients on the structure of transactions to account for the risk of default and bankruptcy. Jeremy regularly represents clients in bankruptcy disputes and appears before state and federal district courts and federal bankruptcy courts.
Wayne State University will require COVID-19 vaccinations
DETROIT (AP) — Wayne State University will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination from students, faculty and staff that wish to return to campus in the fall, the Detroit school announced Tuesday.
Hundreds of colleges nationwide have told students in recent months they must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before classes begin, including the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Central Michigan University.
Like many university presidents, WSU President M. Roy Wilson, in a letter, cited the highly contagious delta variant of COVID-19 as a contributing factor to the mandate.
Proof of vaccination will have to be submitted by Aug. 30. Members of the campus community who knowingly come to campus unvaccinated will face unspecified consequences, Wilson said in his letter. Those interested in a waiver for the vaccine requirement can apply through the school.
Until the university can get a feel for how much of the campus is vaccinated, there will also be an indoor mask mandate through Sept. 15 when the school can assess if there is still need for masks.
