Rich Leonard (Bankr. E.D. N.C.) provide an overview of the organization and jurisdiction of the U.S. bankruptcy courts for newly appointed bankruptcy judges. They discuss subject matter jurisdiction; reference of proceedings; abstention and remand; powers of bankruptcy judges; jury trials in bankruptcy; and appeals. Their goal is to give the new judges a conceptual understanding of these topics so that they have a starting point for further analysis when questions arise in their cases.
