In 2021 and 2022 , the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges ( NCBJ ) had entered into a similar funding arrangement with JTB . However , in addition to providing summer stipends to bankruptcy interns , NCBJ also offered their interns ( NCBJ Fellows ) the opportunity to attend the NCBJ Conference by waiving the $ 500 registration fee and providing up to $ 1,000 in expense reimbursement for travel and lodging . The program , which allowed the students to network with judges , attorneys , and other insolvency professionals , was an enormous success . Nearly all of the students attended the NCBJ ’ s conferences in Indianapolis ( 2021 ) and Orlando ( 2022 ) and provided overwhelming positive feedback . In post-Conference surveys , all reported that , although they thought they had no particular interest in a career in bankruptcy prior to their internships and attendance at the conferences , the two experiences together had inspired them to consider bankruptcy as a career path . Three of those students have since become law clerks to bankruptcy judges .
Given the success of the NCBJ Fellows
program , we are excited to announce that this year the College ( through its Foundation ) has again partnered with JTB to provide six $ 3,000 stipends to bankruptcy interns and , in addition , has invited its stipend recipients to the College and NCBJ conferences in Austin , Texas in October . Those attending the conferences will be reimbursed up to $ 2,000 ( including the $ 500 registration fee ) for travel , lodging and related expenses . Each student will be paired with a judge , a NextGen and / or Blackshear attorney , and a College Fellow to assist them in navigating the conferences .
In addition , starting this year , the recipients of JTB externship stipends sponsored by the College will be known as “ American College of Bankruptcy Scholars .” For the Summer of 2023 , these outstanding honorees are :
• Tanner Bowen , Washington & Lee University School of Law , Hon . Tracey Wise
• Hans Brownstein , University of Illinois Chicago School of Law , Hon . Janet Baer
• Vasily ( Vas ) Levin , University of Florida School of Law , Hon . Peter Russin
• Joseph Ulloa , University of North Texas Dallas College of Law , Hon . Michelle Larson
• Kemberly Viveros , Temple University Beasley School of Law , Hon . Rosemary Gambardella
• Qingqing ( Kris ) Zhang , Drexel University Thomas Kline School of Law , Hon . Ashley Chan
The students will be joined by and able to spend time with other externs receiving stipends from NCBJ , IWIRC , ABI and other organizations . We have also planned a number of networking , educational and other activities for them , and we encourage continued on page 23
