The bankruptcy court is federal, so this shut down could affect me and my clients in a very direct way.<\/p>\n<p>I went on line and tried to research it a bit around noon today.  I found announcements that the Nevada bankruptcy courts were going to stay open, along with a statement from one of the bankruptcy judges in another state &#8211; Colorado if I recall correctly &#8211; stating that they would not be closing.  In an interview a lawyer from New York said that they were going to try to keep essential services concerning life and property going, and the bankruptcy court would be in that category.<\/p>\n<p>Then a few minutes ago the Minnesota bankruptcy court sent out the following email:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">&#8220;In the event that a lapse in appropriations &#8211; sometimes referred to as a &#8220;government shutdown&#8221; &#8211; occurs on April 9, 2011, the United States Bankruptcy Court, District of Minnesota will remain open for business as usual, and hearings, trials and 341 meetings will be held without interruption.  Applications, hearings and other matters may be scheduled with the Court as usual.  Public access to the Court, in person and through the Court&#8217;s electronic filing system, CM\/ECF, will not be affected.<\/p>\n<p>If a lapse in appropriations continues after April 22, 2011, the Court will continue to conduct hearings and trial. As to continuation of services in the Clerk&#8217;s office, notice will be posted on the Court&#8217;s website at www.mnb.uscourts.gov.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At least now I can tell my clients who are scheduled for hearing next week that we are still on and nothing has changed.
