Section 02How Venue Is Determined

Federal bankruptcy venue is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1408. A case may be filed in the district where the debtor has its domicile, residence, principal place of business, or principal assets for the 180 days preceding the filing, or for a longer portion of those 180 days than in any other district. Within a district, division assignment is generally by debtor residence county or entity principal-place-of-business county, with division-specific local rules controlling.

Cases may be transferred between districts under 28 U.S.C. § 1412 for the convenience of the parties or in the interest of justice. Transfer between divisions of the same district is governed by local rule.
