Cooley Law School’s Moot Court team, coached by Cooley graduates Lauren Simasko and Brandon Ayers, competed in the 32nd Annual Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court Competition in New York City March 2-4. Jointly sponsored by St. John’s Law and the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI), the competition is one of the nation’s preeminent moot court competitions. The legal situation posed included whether post-petition, pre-conversion increase in equity in a debtor’s property inures to the benefit of the debtor or to the bankruptcy estate upon conversion of a case from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7; and whether Chapter 7 trustee may sell, as property of the bankruptcy estate, the ability to avoid and recover transfers.
