The Northern District provides copies of records, local rules, schedules and official filing instructions.
The instructions provided are general, and are not a substitutive for legal advice. For instance, the
information provided does not adequately explain the benefits and burdens of each chapter for debtors or the
long term effect of filing. The Code is specific:
judges, clerks and personnel are prohibited from providing what may be construed as legal advice. This rule of
law applies equally to debtors, creditors and parties in interest. With new laws looming on the horizon, now,
more than ever before, qualified legal advice is a necessity before initiating any suit.
