Local Bankruptcy Rules
of the
UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
FORWARD
A draft of proposed Local Bankruptcy Rules dated November 9, 1998, was circulated and
published on the web information center for the Bankruptcy Bar Association of Maryland and on
the website of the American Bankruptcy Institute. Written comments and suggestions were
solicited.
The Judges are indebted to the members of the Bar who responded. As a result of the comments,
further changes were made in the Rules. The Judges of this court wish to thank everyone who
participated in the process of creating an updated set of Local Rules for the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland.
The Rules changes are summarized in the introduction that follows. There are no comments on
minor grammatical or stylistic changes.
These Rules take effect on May 1, 1999, and govern all proceedings in bankruptcy cases
thereafter commenced and, insofar as just and practicable, all proceedings in bankruptcy cases
then pending.
