courts

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

In Minnesota, 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 found in Title 11 of the United States Code, which is known as the Bankruptcy 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. In Minnesota, individuals and businesses looking to file for bankruptcy would do so in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota. This court operates under the oversight of the U.S. District Court for the same district and is subject to the rules and procedures established by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the local rules of the bankruptcy court.
