The ACB Scholars
The 2023 ACB Scholars hail from law schools from around the country . They are highly accomplished and have excelled in the face of extraordinary personal and financial challenges . Five of the six Scholars were able to attend all or part of the Conference in Austin and four arrived in time to be recognized at the College ’ s All Fellows Luncheon on October 11 , 2023 .
To assist the students in navigating the supersized Conference , each was assigned a judicial mentor , an NCBJ NextGen or Blackshear attorney mentor , and a College Fellow mentor . The Scholars took full
advantage of the unique opportunity to network with a plethora of judges , attorneys and other insolvency professionals , as well as to attend educational seminars and various social events . During the Conference , Scholars Tanner Bowen , Hans Brownstein , Vas Levin , and Kris Zhang also participated in individual live video sessions ( produced by Fellows Omar Alaniz and Scott Bovitz ) in which they shared their unique personal stories , including their experiences as bankruptcy interns . Stay tuned for the opportunity to view their amazing videos in 2024 .
