U. S. Bankruptcy
Administrator
Section 302(d)(3)(I) of the Bankruptcy Judges,
United States Trustees, and Family Farmer Bankruptcy Act
of 1986, Pub. L. 99-554, 100 Stat. 3119, 3123, provides
the statutory authority for the Judicial Conference of the
United States to establish the bankruptcy administrator
program. Generally, bankruptcy administrators establish,
maintain and supervise a panel of private trustees to serve
as trustees in cases under title 11 of the United States
Code and supervise the administration of cases and trustees
in cases under chapters 7, 11, 12, 13 and 15 of title 11.
Bankruptcy administrators have standing to
raise, and appear and be heard on, any issue in any case under
title 11. The bankruptcy administrator in performing the duties
and exercising the authority conferred by statute and regulations,
serves as an independent, non-judicial officer of the Judiciary.
The bankruptcy administrator acts in the
public interest and actively seeks to prevent, through monitoring
and reporting, abuses in the bankruptcy system. Suspected
criminal activity is coordinated with and referred to other
government agencies, including the Department
of Justice and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
The bankruptcy administrator and staff are
not permitted to give legal advice or counsel. Please consult
an attorney if you have questions. If you need assistance
in selecting an attorney, contact the Alabama
State Bar.
Bankruptcy case records are
maintained in electronic format by the Clerk of the U. S.
Bankruptcy Court, Middle District of Alabama. For information
regarding a bankruptcy case, contact the Clerk
of Court.
