Local Rules / Administrative Procedures

The Local Bankruptcy Rules (LBRs) and Administrative Procedures are a set of procedures and mandatory requirements for bankruptcy cases and proceedings in the Southern District of California. LBRs and Administrative Procedures also give parties and their attorneys instructions for getting their requests in front of the judge and list requirements for attorneys, trustees, and other parties who work for a bankruptcy estate. Motions are often denied because parties do not follow the LBRs and Administrative Procedures, so it is important to familiarize yourself with the LBRs and Administrative Procedures relevant to your case.

If they are revised, LBRs and Administrative Procedures are posted immediately after they are revised.
