The "brick and mortar" courts themselves are usually located in federal courthouses in the bigger cities, sharing the same building as the United States District Court. The locations typically consist of one or more courtrooms, along with a clerk's office, and occasionally conference and attorney's rooms. There are often ancillary locations involved in bankruptcy proceedings.

      The United States Trustee Program, which has certain oversight responsibility in bankruptcy cases, usually conducts its operations in a U.S. Federal Building adjacent to or in the vicinity of the court. In some districts, the meetings of creditors are held in leased office space.

Updates

      Within the individual Districts, changes in the appointments of chief bankruptcy judges and clerks of courts are numerous. As service to the bankruptcy community this section is regularly updated.
