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 Dakota, 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 are specialized courts that handle only bankruptcy cases under the authority of the federal judiciary. The Bankruptcy Code, which is codified as Title 11 of the United States Code, governs the process of bankruptcy in the United States. In South Dakota, individuals and businesses looking to file for bankruptcy would do so in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Dakota. This court operates under the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota and is subject to the rules and regulations established by the U.S. federal law.
