courts

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

In South Carolina, 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. These courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases, meaning that they are the only courts that can make decisions in bankruptcy matters. Bankruptcy courts handle all aspects of bankruptcy proceedings, including filing petitions, managing the case through its various stages, and discharging debts as appropriate under the federal Bankruptcy Code. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Carolina is the relevant court for individuals and businesses seeking bankruptcy relief within the state. It 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.
