Bankruptcy and the Local Rules and Federal Rules

The Federal District Court entertains cases under Federal law, or State law  cases while sitting in diversity jurisdiction.  They administer the cases by operation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.  The rules can be found at no cost at various internet sites.
