Welcome to our Inn.
About Walter Chandler
The late Congressman Walter Chandler was the sponsor of the
eponymous Chandler Act of 1938, which added the first comprehensive
corporate reorganization and individual debtor's wage-earner plan
proceedings to American bankruptcy law. These provisions of the
Chandler Act remained in effect for 40 years and provided the
foundation for both chapter 11 and chapter 13 of the current
law.

About the Walter Chandler Inn of Court
The Congressman Walter Chandler American Inn of Court was

American Inns of Court are permitted to have a specialized
focus, and the focus of the Congressman Walter Chandler AIC is on
bankruptcy. As one of its first official acts, the Inn adopted the
