A Brown Bag CLE with the Honorable Robert Summerhays, Chief Judge of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana, was hosted by the Lafayette\/Acadiana Chapter of the FBA on July 27, 2016 at the U.S. Bankruptcy Courthouse in Lafayette, Louisiana. Judge Summerhays presented to the group of 36 attorneys in attendance, who included both bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy practitioners. Following a catered lunch, attendants were given an overview of recent trends in consumer and commercial bankruptcy filings at both the national and local levels, which prompted an interactive discussion of the potential economic factors influencing those trends. In addition, Judge Summerhays discussed several recent and notable bankruptcy rulings from the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The seminar concluded with announcements of the Chapter\u2019s upcoming events in 2016, including another Brown Bag CLE, a fishing rodeo, and the inaugural lecture series honoring the Hon. W.
