handle is hein.bank/bkfms0001 and id is 1 raw text is: LEONIDAS RALPH MECHAM ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF THE Director UNITED STATES COURTS CLARENCE A. LEE, JR. Associate Director WASHINGTON, D.C. 20544 May 8, 2000 MEMORANDUM TO: JUDGES, UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURTS CLERKS, UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURTS BANKRUPTCY ADMINISTRATORS CIRCUIT LIBRARIANS SUBJECT: Revised Bankruptcy Forms Manual (INFORMATION) I am pleased to transmit the revised Bankruptcy Forms Manual containing the Official Bankruptcy Forms and selected procedural forms for use in the bankruptcy courts. The new manual also contains instructions for completing and using all of the forms. The Bankruptcy Forms Manual will be available electronically on both the J-Net and the federal judiciary's public Internet website within the next several months. This printed volume is for your reference. The Bankruptcy Judges Division has devoted major resources to this complete revision of the Bankruptcy Forms Manual, which was first published in 1988. Many forms have been updated, and all are current through December 1999. For example, discharge orders for chapter 13 debtors, chapter 12 debtors, and joint debtors in chapter 7 cases have been revised to conform to the 1997 revision of Official Form 18, the chapter 7 discharge. For the first time, all of the Official Bankruptcy Forms prescribed by the Judicial Conference are available in one judiciary publication, and basic instructions to assist the general public also are included. The Bankruptcy Forms Manual is published as a service to both the courts and the public. Although courts now can generate many forms locally, Rule 9009 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure authorizes the Director of the Administrative Office to issue forms in addition to the Official Bankruptcy Forms, for use in bankruptcy cases. The procedural forms chosen for publication in the manual are those for which there are strong reasons for national uniformity; they also are those that the courts, the parties, and their attorneys are most likely to need. The forms and instructions may be copied freely, and clerks of court may make paper copies upon request for the usual charge of 50 cents per page. When posted electronically, the forms will be in portable document format (PDF) and can be downloaded to a personal computer. A TRADITION OF SERVICE TO THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY
