The bankruptcy judges for the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado are pleased to post the Local Bankruptcy Rules, Forms and Appendix, to be effective December 1, 2009(UPDATED 7/1/2010) for all pending and future cases. Many of the changes were precipitated by the enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, and with the grateful assistance of a rules revision committee comprised of bankruptcy practitioners, over three years of study have gone into the creation of these rules, forms and appendix.

Pursuant to General Procedure Order 2010-1, minor corrections and clarifications have been made to the Local Bankruptcy Rules and Forms. Those changes are contained in the body of the attachments and are effective July 1, 2010. To see a breakdown of the specific modifications, click here. Please make certain to refer to the most current version of the Local Bankruptcy Rules, Forms and Appendix found on our webpage to assist you in following them.
