Courts that oversee bankruptcy filings are part of the federal court system, and are generally referred to as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.
In Kansas, 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 from some or all of their debts. In Kansas, individuals and businesses file for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas. This court has locations in Kansas City, Topeka, and Wichita. The U.S. Bankruptcy Courts are specialized courts that handle only bankruptcy cases, and their decisions can be appealed to the U.S. District Court and, in some cases, directly to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
