Description:
On June 23, 2011, the United States Supreme Court issued its 5-4 opinion in Stern v. Marshall, 131 U.S. 2594 (2011) in which it held that Article III of the United States Constitution precluded a bankruptcy court from issuing a final order adjudicating a counterclaim that had been asserted by a debtor in response to a proof of claim filed by one of the debtor’s creditors. This opinion is perhaps the most important decision that addresses the limits of Article III jurisdiction of the bankruptcy courts since the Supreme Court’s decision in Northern Pipeline Const. Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50 (1982) (plurality opinion) and it is certain to impact (and already has impacted) the handling of a number of cases pending before the courts. While the scope of the opinion, on first blush, is limited in nature; nevertheless, the opinion raises a number of issues – without any clear answers or direction – with which practitioners and the courts will need to grapple.

The panel will explore (i) the facts and holding of the case; (ii) bankruptcy jurisprudence on jurisdiction; (iii) what the opinion means to practicing attorneys; (iv) what the opinion means to bankruptcy judges; (v) procedural and practical challenges going forward; and (vi) alternative strategies for dealing with the impact of the Supreme Court’s decision. In addition, the panel will highlight recent case decisions and articles that have been published since the Supreme Court’s ruling.
