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

In New Hampshire, 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 for individuals or businesses that are unable to repay their outstanding debts, and it is governed by federal law, primarily under Title 11 of the United States Code. The U.S. Bankruptcy Courts handle all aspects of bankruptcy proceedings, including filing of petitions, case administration, and adjudication of the debtor's discharge or reorganization plan. New Hampshire has one bankruptcy court, which is the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Hampshire. This court has jurisdiction over all bankruptcy cases originating in the state. It's important to note that state laws can influence certain aspects of the bankruptcy process, such as exemptions and the enforcement of judgments, but the process itself is federally regulated.
