Courts that oversee bankruptcy filings are part of the federal court system, and are generally referred to as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.

In Connecticut, as in all states, bankruptcy cases are handled by the federal court system, specifically by U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, which are units of the U.S. District Courts. Bankruptcy courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases, meaning that a bankruptcy case cannot be filed in a state court. Connecticut has one bankruptcy court, which is the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut. This court oversees all bankruptcy filings in the state, whether they are for individuals or businesses. The bankruptcy process is governed by federal law, primarily under Title 11 of the United States Code, also known as the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Code provides the detailed framework for different types of bankruptcy proceedings, such as Chapter 7 (liquidation), Chapter 11 (reorganization for businesses), and Chapter 13 (debt adjustment for individuals with regular income).
