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

In Vermont, 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. Vermont falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Vermont. This court has the authority to hear and decide bankruptcy cases originating within the state of Vermont. The decisions of the bankruptcy court are subject to review by the U.S. District Court, and ultimately, the U.S. Court of Appeals.
