I have included on this page links that I find useful in my own practice of bankruptcy law in the San Francisco area. You will find links to help identify lawsuits that have been filed in several Bay Area state courts, links to California bankruptcy courts, the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, and links to help identify real property transactions and liens as recorded with local county recorders.
