'''Bankruptcy''' refers to [[statutes]] and judicial proceedings involving persons or businesses that cannot pay their debts and seek the assistance of the court in getting a fresh start. Under the protection of the [[bankruptcy court]], debtors may be released from or "discharged" from their debts, perhaps by paying a portion of each debt. [[Bankruptcy judges]] preside over these proceedings. The person with the debts is called the debtor and the people or companies to whom the debtor owes money are called creditors.
