The United States Courts have developed a series called Bankruptcy Basics, which provides  basic information to debtors, creditors, court personnel, the media, and the general public on different aspects of federal bankruptcy laws. It also provides individuals who may be considering bankruptcy with a basic explanation of the different chapters under which a bankruptcy case may be filed and answers some of the most commonly asked questions about the bankruptcy process.

The Courts have also developed Bankruptcy Basics videos, in English and Spanish.
