This panel examines the ways in which bankruptcy law employs, recognizes, and sometimes reshapes enforcement mechanisms, fiduciary obligations, and doctrinal limits to influence the conduct of parties across a wide range of contexts. Panelists will consider the function and implications of contempt of court as a tool for ensuring compliance with court orders; the evolving fiduciary duties of nonprofit directors and officers navigating Chapter 11 proceedings; and the continued relevance of charitable-immunity and public-trust doctrines and how they intersect with modern bankruptcy practice.
