Judge (Bankruptcy Court)

A bankruptcy court judge is a legal authority who oversees bankruptcy cases, which involve individuals or businesses unable to pay their debts. The judge ensures that laws are followed during the bankruptcy process, which can include reorganizing debts or liquidating assets to pay creditors. They make important decisions about the fairness of debt repayment plans, resolve disputes between creditors and debtors, and ultimately determine whether a debtor can be discharged from their debts. Their role is crucial in helping debtors find relief while ensuring that creditors are treated fairly under the law.
