Case Law Index Agricultural Bankruptcy

January 1, 2002 – April 12, 2024

This index provides a comprehensive though not necessarily exhaustive compilation of reported and unreported bankruptcy court decisions involving agricultural bankruptcy that were decided between the dates listed above. The cases are listed in reverse chronological order. The “Text” link goes to the freely available Google Scholar text of the opinion. These listings are for educational purposes only and are not a substitute for legal counsel.

Editor’s note: Bankruptcy case law revolves primarily around the Federal Bankruptcy Code, but there are two primary instances where state law may affect a bankruptcy proceeding. First, state laws defining and regulating the debtor-creditor relationship affect bankruptcy proceedings because some sections of the Bankruptcy Code incorporate these state laws. Second, state law bankruptcy exemptions sometimes apply to a bankruptcy proceeding. In general, bankruptcy exemptions are laws that allow a person to protect certain property in bankruptcy. Exemptions are established under both the Bankruptcy Code and in state law. Every state has adopted its own exemptions. Some states permit petitioners to choose between the state law exemptions and the federal Bankruptcy Code exemptions, but other states have opted out of the Code entirely and only allow petitioners to use the exemptions available under state law. This Bankruptcy Case Law Index was compiled with this difference in mind to provide users with quick and ready access to each state’s bankruptcy exemptions. Each state has at least one federal bankruptcy court, and these court decisions are listed under the state’s name and not geographically according to circuit. District court opinions are similarly listed. Circuit courts of appeal decisions and the decisions of bankruptcy appellate panels are listed according to their respective circuits.
