Bankruptcy Glossary: The Bankruptcy “Code”

The US Bankruptcy “Code” is the informal name used by lawyers and judges to describe the sections of federal law that govern the bankruptcy process. Regardless of whether the case is a chapter 7, 9, 11, 12 or 13 bankruptcy, the entire statutory text of bankruptcy can be found in title 11 of the United States Code – specifically 11 USC §§ 101-1330.
