Current Issues Concerning and New Dilemmas for Committees

How do judges view the various types of committees–official statutory committees (including unsecured creditor, equity, retiree and tort claimant committees) and ad hoc committees? Is the makeup of the committee (trade/landlords/noteholders/bondholders/litigation claimants) relevant?

This panel discusses these questions and more relating to official and ad hoc committees.
