    John C. Akard Lecture Delivered by The Honourable Madam Justice Barbara Romaine
    The Honourable Madam Justice Barbara Romaine, Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Calgary, Canada is one of the judges assigned to commercial insolvency and complex commercial matters. She is currently the Calgary Co-chair of the Court's Commercial Practice Group. Justice Romaine is a member of the Board of the Canadian Insolvency Foundation and the Editorial Advisory Board of the Annual Review of Insolvency Law. She is an International Judicial Affiliate member of the U.S. National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges and a member of the International Insolvency Institute, INSOL International, GRIP 21 and the International Women's Insolvency and Restructuring Confederation.

    The Court of Queen's Bench is the Superior Trial Court for the Province, hearing trials in civil and criminal matters and appeals from decisions of the Provincial Court. As a member of the Commercial Court in Alberta, Justice Romaine has handled some of the largest and most important of the Canadian business bankruptcies, including those with major connections to the United States.

    Justice Romaine delivers the Akard Lecture, speaking on why cross-boarder proceedings between our countries work with relative ease and shares her thoughts about existing issues and the challenges to come.

    The John C. Akard Distinguished Lectureship Program was endowed by the generous gifts of many members of the Texas bankruptcy bar in honor of Judge John C. Akard (retired), a 1957 UT Law graduate who served with great distinction for 14 years as the U.S. Bankruptcy Judge in the Northern District of Texas, sitting in Lubbock and throughout much of West Texas. The first Akard Lecture was delivered in 2001 by Professor Elizabeth Warren of Harvard Law School, and formerly of The University of Texas School of Law.

    Debt as an Asset Acquisition Tool and Defenses to "Loan-to-Own" Strategies
    More and more, financial players are acquiring senior secured debt and using pre-bankruptcy forbearance and restructuring to enhance their ability to convert that debt to ownership of the debtor's assets. A discussion of who is doing it, how and why, and what junior creditors can do about it including new—or not so new—leverage after 11th Circuit's TOUSA decision.

    Debt and Domestic Abuse
    Labeled as "coerced debt", a new type of debt is emerging from abusive relationships. Coerced debt occurs when the abuser in a violent relationship obtains credit in the victim's name via fraud or coercion. It ranges from secretly taking out credit cards in victims' names to coercing victims into signing loan documents, to tricking victims to relinquishing their rights to the family house.
