Attendance at Hearings

Judge Lloyd requires in-person attendance of attorneys and witnesses at all trials and evidentiary hearings. Attendance at regularly-scheduled motion hours may be permitted by video conferencing within the Western District of Kentucky. The Court is under no obligation to make special accommodations for any attorney who cannot attend a hearing in either Bowling Green or Louisville, or due to staffing and technical issues beyond the control of the Court.

A notice setting the confirmation hearing for a date after the Section 341 Meeting date will be issued separately from the 341 notice by the Court. Debtors and their counsel are required to attend all confirmation hearings.
