Arthur Gonzalez
The Hon. Arthur J. Gonzalez is a United States Bankruptcy Court Judge for the Southern District of New York. Gonzalez received his undergraduate degree from Fordham University in 1969. Following graduation, he worked as a New York City public school teacher until 1982. After earning a law degree, also from Fordham, Gonzalez became an attorney for the Manhattan District Counsel Office of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). He left the IRS in 1988 and worked as a private lawyer for several firms. During this period, he earned a Master of Laws from New York University (NYU). In 1991, Gonzalez re-entered government to become an Assistant United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York. He was promoted in 1993 to become Trustee for New York, Connecticut, and Vermont. Judge Gonzalez was appointed Bankruptcy Judge in 1995.
Significant Cases
Gonzalez presided over the bankruptcy proceedings for WorldCom, the largest U.S. bankruptcy case, and Enron. Both cases resulted, at least in part, from egregious fraud by the companies prior to their filing for bankruptcy.
