Courts that oversee bankruptcy filings are part of the federal court system, and are generally referred to as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts.
In Michigan, 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, specifically the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which is found in Title 11 of the United States Code. The U.S. Bankruptcy Courts handle all types of bankruptcy cases, including Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, and Chapter 13 filings. These courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases, meaning that bankruptcy cases cannot be filed in state court. Michigan is divided into two bankruptcy districts, the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan, each with its own bankruptcy court. The appropriate district for filing depends on the location of the debtor's domicile, residence, principal place of business, or principal assets.
