Speak now or forever hold your peace.
Or suffer in silence, is more like it.
Comment period for the proposed new bankruptcy forms closes February 15th.
That’s a week from tomorrow.
Have you had your say?
I’ve extracted the new I, J, and elements of B22 from the pdf on the court’s site to make them easier to find and analyze.
Submit comments
The process for new forms includes an opportunity for public comment. Everyone I have ever talked to who’s been involved in the process emphasizes how carefully comments are considered.

Why can’t they leave well enough alone? I sent the following to the rules comments address: “I absolutely hate the new forms. It’s simply more
pages to submit the same info as the previous forms. Please stop trying
to fix things that aren’t broken.”
Good man! I worry that they are trying to make the forms more friendly to pro pers, who won’t be served in the long run by being chummed along.
