Business bankruptcies: Chapter 11 filings from court dockets

Chapter 11 is the part of US bankruptcy law that lets a business keep operating while it reorganizes its debts under a federal court. NewsIntel lists the Chapter 11 cases of businesses that it finds in CourtListener's RECAP archive, a free public archive of federal court dockets, going back 24 months at most. Each filing links to its docket. This is not a complete list: cases filed by individuals are left out, and a case that is not in RECAP is not shown. We show that a case was filed, not how it ended.
