INFORMATIONAL PAMPHLETS FOR FILING WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY (PRO SE)

Siegel Document Preparation, LLC

The pamphlets listed below give the reader basic information about the complicated bankruptcy process under current bankruptcy law. However, these pamphlets are not intended to give you legal advice, and are not a substitute for the legal advice specific to your situation. Neither the Bankruptcy Court nor the Clerk's office can give you legal advice. Appropriate legal representation or advice should be obtained from a qualified attorney. Qualified attorneys can be found through public sources such as phone directories or public libraries. The State Bar of Arizona also provides a lawyer referral service either by phone by calling: 602-252-4804 or 1-866-48-AZBAR (toll-free outside Maricopa County) or through their website at: www.azbar.org (select the "Find a Lawyer" link).

ARIZONA BANKRUPTCY LOCAL RULES

The 30-day comment period for proposed General Order 106 has concluded. Over 25 comments were received, and the court is now in the process of reviewing them. The court wishes to thank all those who took the time to review the proposed GO and submit comments.

February 10, 2011

Proposed Rule Change: The court has posted for a 30-day comment period, a proposed General Order which adopts a change to Local Rule 2003-1. The proposed change would add a new subsection (c) to clarify the district's practice that with the exception of emergencies or unresolvable calendar conflict, counsel of record must appear at 341 Meetings with their clients.

Court Adopts Proposed Changes to Model Chapter 13 Plan and Local Rule 2084-4

Local Rules

The Court has adopted changes to its local rules, effective December 1, 2009.  Consistent with time deadline changes in the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure scheduled to go in to effect on December 1, 2009, the court's local rules have been revised. Specifically, five day deadlines become seven days; 10 and 15 day deadlines become 14 days; 20 day deadlines become 21 days; and 25 day deadlines become 28 days. For deadlines in 7 day increments, all reference to "business" or "calendar" days has been revised to reflect a simpler "days are days" approach.
