The Open Bankruptcy Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (determination pending) that builds free, open-source tools for bankruptcy court transparency. We welcome questions about our tools, our research methodology, and our educational resources. We also welcome partnership inquiries from legal aid organizations, academic researchers, and journalists covering bankruptcy and consumer protection topics.
Our team typically responds to inquiries within one business day. For press inquiries on a deadline, please note the deadline in your subject line and we will prioritize your request accordingly.

Important Note
The Open Bankruptcy Project does not provide legal advice. We cannot assist with individual bankruptcy cases, recommend attorneys, or interpret how the law applies to your specific situation. If you need legal assistance, please contact a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction or your local legal aid office. Many bankruptcy courts also maintain pro se assistance programs for individuals who cannot afford counsel.
