"Colorado Bankruptcy Records"
The Clerk of each Colorado bankruptcy court maintains all documents and pleadings filed with the court.
Additionally, schedules filed by debtors, the court's docket, pending hearings, and court orders are also available
for public review. Many records are available online through the PACER system, for a fee, or may be reviewed at
the Clerk's office via public access computers.

forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
