National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges
The National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges is a professional organization for bankruptcy judges in the United States.[1] The organization promotes cooperation among bankruptcy judges, organizes conferences,[2] and provides legal education by funding research on insolvency and by publishing scholarship online and through the American Bankruptcy Law Journal.
The NCBJ was founded in 1926.[3] From its founding until 1973, the organization was known as the National Association of Referees in Bankruptcy and represented referees in bankruptcy, as the position of bankruptcy judge did not yet exist. The referee position was renamed "bankruptcy judge" in 1973 with the adoption of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and the organization changed its name in the same year.[4]
