What is the US Bankruptcy Code

A San Jose bankruptcy attorney tells a bit about the Bankruptcy Code

The United States Bankruptcy Code is comprised of laws created to outline descriptions, rules, and guideline pertaining to the various chapters of bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Code includes Chapter 7 (aka the Fresh Start bankruptcy because of the second chance it offers bankruptcy filers), Chapter 11 (reorganization bankruptcy typically filed by businesses or organizations) and Chapter 13 (reorganization bankruptcy as opposed to liquidation) . The Bankruptcy Code also outlines lesser known bankrutpcies Chapters 9 (the reorganization bankruptcy for municipalities) & 12 (similar to Chapter 13, but only available to family farmers and fishermen).
