Department of Justice  United States Trustee Program

Appointment to Panel of Chapter 7 Trustee

The United States Trustee seeks resumes from persons wishing to be considered for appointment to the panel of trustees who administer cases filed under chapter 7 of title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code).

The appointment is for cases filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of West Virginia. Chapter 7 trustees receive compensation and reimbursement for expenses under 11 U.S.C. §§ 326 and 330.

Although trustees are not federal employees, appointments are made consistent with federal Equal Opportunity policies, which prohibit discrimination in employment.

The United States Trustee Program is a litigating component of the Department of Justice whose mission is to promote the integrity and efficiency of the bankruptcy system for the benefit of all stakeholders — debtors, creditors and the public. Often described as the “watchdog of the bankruptcy system,” the USTP acts to prevent fraud, dishonesty, and overreaching in the bankruptcy system.
