This guidance was developed by the Administrative Office of the U. S. Courts in coordination with a court working group established by the Director to assist the Clerk's Offices in preparing for implementation of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. The guidance is a work in progress, updated as necessary to provide additional information or clarification. Unless noted otherwise (e.g., tax return guidance and IFP procedures), it does not represent the policy of the Judicial Conference of the United States, and should not be cited as a legal authority.
