Courts that oversee bankruptcy filings are part of the federal court system, and are generally referred to as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.
In Alaska, as in all states, courts that oversee bankruptcy filings are indeed part of the federal court system and are specifically designated as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts. Bankruptcy is a legal process governed by federal law, primarily under Title 11 of the United States Code, which allows individuals or businesses (debtors) who are unable to pay their debts to seek relief through various chapters such as Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Alaska is the relevant court for all bankruptcy cases filed in the state. This court operates under the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska and is responsible for handling all bankruptcy matters, including petitions, hearings, and case management.
