Title 11 of the United States Code is divided into chapters. Chapters 1, 3, and 5 generally pertain to all bankruptcy cases, whereas the remaining chapters address specific types of cases. For example, Chapter 11 typically applies to the reorganization of a business.
Bankruptcy court procedure is governed by the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, not the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
