sound legal advice. For instance, the
information provided does not fully explain the individual benefits and
pitfalls of each chapter for debtors, or creditors, or the
long term effect of filing after discharge. The US Code is specific:
judges, clerks and personnel are prohibited to provide any interested
party with what may be considered legal advice. This rule of
law applies equally to debtors and creditors.
Daily operation and administration procedures for New
York Bankruptcy Courts are determined by the Administrative Office of US
Courts. The judicial power of Judges is determined by Federal Law, which
is derived primarily from the US Constitution and the US Code.
Additional clarification of judicial power is provided by court
decisions, Federal rules, and Local Rules.
