Organization and Jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts

Federal Judicial Center. Organization and Jurisdiction of the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts. In this 37 minute program, Professor S. Elizabeth Gibson and the Hon. J. Rich Leonard (Bankr. E.D. N.C.) provide an overview of the organization and jurisdiction of the U.S. bankruptcy courts for newly appointed bankruptcy judges. They discuss subject matter jurisdiction; reference of proceedings; abstention and remand; powers of bankruptcy judges; jury trials in bankruptcy; and appeals. Their goal is to give the new judges a conceptual understanding of these topics so that they have a starting point for further analysis when questions arise in their cases.
