Section 341 meetings of creditors in bankruptcy cases (sometimes referred to as the ‘first meeting’), at which the debtor is orally examined by the trustee, are NOT conducted by the Court; under statute, the U.S. Trustee convenes and presides at the Section 341 meeting. In this District, the U.S. Trustee has arranged for meetings to be conducted virtually, via the Zoom Platform.
