A Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (abbreviated BAP) is a group of judges of the United States bankruptcy courts who are appointed to hear appeals from certain bankruptcy cases under the supervision of the United States courts of appeals.
Not all of the federal judicial circuits have yet convened Bankruptcy Appellate Panels. As of 2008, only the First, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits had convened these panels.

Famous quotes containing the word bankruptcy:
“A woman’s whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless—for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.”
—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
