in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Bankruptcy courts with more than one judge must set their own rules for dividing up cases. District courts with multiple bankruptcy judges must pick a chief judge for the bankruptcy court. That chief judge makes sure court rules are followed and business runs smoothly.

(a) Each bankruptcy court that has more than one bankruptcy judge must create rules, by majority vote, for dividing up the court's business among its judges. This only applies where the district court's own rules do not already cover it. (b) Each district court with more than one bankruptcy judge must pick one judge to be chief judge of the bankruptcy court. If the district court's judges cannot agree by majority vote on who to pick, the district court's own chief judge makes the choice instead. The bankruptcy court's chief judge must make sure the bankruptcy court and district court rules are observed, and that the bankruptcy court's business is handled effectively and quickly.
