United States Bankruptcy Courts

United States Bankruptcy Courts are specialized federal courts that handle cases involving individuals or businesses seeking relief from debt. In cases where multiple bankruptcy filings arise from similar circumstances, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation may consolidate these cases to streamline the legal process. This allows for greater efficiency and uniformity in handling complex bankruptcy matters, as multiple related cases can be addressed together rather than individually. This approach helps reduce the burden on the courts and ensures fair treatment for all parties involved in similar situations.
