INTERPLAY BETWEEN BANKRUPTCY AND STATE COURTS: Concurrent Jurisdictions.
- Authors
Domitrovich, Judge Stephanie
- Abstract
The article focuses on the concept of concurrent jurisdiction in the U.S. legal system, which allows two courts to have jurisdiction over the same matter. It mentions an example of a family court case where concurrent jurisdiction was used to lift an automatic stay by the bankruptcy court, under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and explains the importance of communication between judges in different courts to avoid delay and complications.
