Special Notices
Courthouse Access
There are two key requirements for attorneys or other parties with business before the Bankruptcy Court at a federal courthouse in the Southern District:
-
Attorneys are now required to perform a screening (per a checklist in the Special Order) for COVID-19 risk factors related to themselves and any individuals that accompany attorneys at the courthouse. If an attorney identifies a risk factor, the attorney is required to notify chambers (or the Trustee for Meetings of Creditors) at least 24 hours before the scheduled proceeding (or Meeting of Creditors).
-
The United States Marshal Service will begin screening all courthouse visitors for risk factors identified in the order.
