What is Board Certified in Bankruptcy Law & What are the Requirements?

In Washington, DC, there are over 49,000 lawyers. Lawyers practice many different types of law. Some lawyers practice all types of law such as personal injury law, immigration law, business law, criminal law, and so on. As with doctors and other types of professionals, lawyers often tend to specialize in a particular type of practice. Sometimes they choose to do this because they work at a firm that tends to only do a certain type of law or sometimes they make conscious decision to practice a type of law that they like the most or, because of their education, training and/or expertise, they only want to practice one specific area of practice.

Bankruptcy Law is very complicated. Though Texas does offer a specialization program, most states do not offer a Board Certification or Specialization program in any field of practice. However, even the states that do not have a formal certification or specialization process, except for a select few, in the field of Bankruptcy recognize that there are entities that do offer certification in Bankruptcy and permit a lawyer to advertise that they hold a certification or specialization in bankruptcy.

In DC and in the area of Bankruptcy, an entity that District of Columbia lawyers are able to publicly discuss their certification with is a company called the:

American Board of Certification (ABC)

(319) 365-2222.
