Boston University School of Law's Review of Banking & Financial Law hosted their Distressed Municipal Financing: Navigating Uncharted Waters Symposium on Friday, February 7, 2014 at BU Law. Clayton Gillette, Max E. Greenberg Professor of Contract Law at New York University School of Law, delivered the keynote address. This Symposium brought together practitioners, judges, and leading scholars to discuss key financial issues arising in debt-laden communities across the nation, including: historic bankruptcies in Detroit and San Bernardino, pension obligation conflicts, and the tension between austerity measures and bailouts. Perspectives on municipal use of volatile securities and the effect of voter mobility on local finance policy, among others, were presented. Participants examined how state and local governments can navigate conflicting interests to generate workable financing solutions.
