This repository of materials was developed as a companion to the manual, Navigating Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code, to provide courts with examples of case documents and other resource materials related to issues likely to arise in Chapter 9 cases.

This page includes case-management orders from several cases. The “Notice of the Commencement of the Case” may include notice and procedure related to matters such as filing objections to the petitions and filing proofs of claim. See also Notice and Websites. 

Case-Management Orders is one of several Chapter 9 Online Repository categories.

To assist courts in managing their civil and criminal caseloads, we created a case management dashboard.  The dashboards show courts how slowly or quickly they terminate groups of cases relative to the national average.  

The video shows a demonstration of the dashboard and the link below provides the instructions for use.

This pocket guide is designed to offer judges an introduction to the law and practice of securities litigation. It provides an overview of the types of legal and practical issues judges may confront in litigation arising under the securities laws, and, where possible, offers suggestions. This guide also identifies the areas of securities law most prone to circuit splits or frequent change, so that judges know where to be particularly vigilant about looking at up-to-date case law and legislation.
