IN COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA
WASHINGTON, D.C.--Assistant United States Trustee
Stephen I. Goldring has been selected as Director of the National
Bankruptcy Training Institute, it was announced today by Jerry
Patchan, Director of the Executive Office for United States
Trustees.
Beginning in January 1999, the National Bankruptcy Training
Institute will be located in Columbia, S.C., in the recently
opened National Advocacy Center, which is operated by the
Department of Justice's Executive Office for United States
Attorneys. The National Advocacy Center offers training for
federal, state, and local prosecutors and litigators in advocacy
skills and management of legal operations.
Goldring brings a wealth of law enforcement experience
to his new post. He served as an Assistant United States Attorney
in Pittsburgh for 12 years, including seven years as First
Assistant United States Attorney, before he joined the United
States Trustee Program in 1988 as the Assistant United States
Trustee in Pittsburgh. Goldring began his career in the Department
of Justice in 1974 as an attorney with the Organized Crime
and Racketeering Strike Force. He received his law degree
in 1970 from Duquesne University Law School in Pittsburgh.
In 1992, Goldring was recognized with the Attorney General's
Award for Distinguished Service. Throughout his tenure with
the United States Trustee Program, Goldring has taken on many
special projects, including acting as regional criminal coordinator
and leading several peer review teams. He has also taken an
active role in internal training programs, regularly serving
as an instructor.
"We will rely on Steve's vision, creativity, and initiative
to help us develop a comprehensive curriculum of skills and
management training," Patchan stated. "I envision that the
National Bankruptcy Training Institute will offer every person
in the United States Trustee Program regular access to a range
of courses to enhance professional development. Further, the
Institute will offer the United States Trustee Program a unique
opportunity to maintain a permanent training site on the campus
of the University of South Carolina and to develop an experienced
corps of instructors."
"We look forward to a collaborative effort with the United
States Attorneys and their partner in the Advocacy Center,
the National District Attorneys Association. We also anticipate
increased participation in our training programs by judges,
practitioners, and legal scholars," Patchan said.
"I am excited and honored to be able to participate in
the establishment of the National Bankruptcy Training Institute,"
Goldring stated. "I believe that the Institute will become
one of the cornerstones of the United States Trustee Program."
