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

In Oregon, 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. The U.S. Bankruptcy Courts handle all aspects of bankruptcy cases, and they operate under the umbrella of the U.S. District Courts. Bankruptcy laws are governed by federal law, specifically the Bankruptcy Code, which is found in Title 11 of the United States Code. While bankruptcy courts are federal courts, the specific procedures and details of the bankruptcy process can be influenced by state laws, such as exemptions that protect certain types of property from being used to pay debts. In Oregon, individuals or entities filing for bankruptcy would do so in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon.
