Chapter 7 Trustees
APPOINTMENT TO PANEL OF
CHAPTER 7 TRUSTEES
The Office of the United States Trustee is seeking resumes from persons wishing to be considered for appointment to the panel of trustees who administer cases filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The appointment is for cases filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of Illinois, primarily in the Peoria Division, although a possibility of case assignments in other divisions may be necessary on an infrequent basis. Chapter 7 trustees receive compensation and reimbursement for expenses in each case in which they serve, pursuant to court order under 11 U.S.C. § 330 and § 326. Trustees are not federal government employees. For additional information, qualification requirements, and application procedures go to

The minimum qualifications for appointment are set forth in 28 C.F.R. § 58.3. To be eligible for appointment, an applicant must possess strong administrative, financial and interpersonal skills. Fiduciary and bankruptcy experience is desirable but not mandatory.
A successful applicant will be required to undergo a background check, and must qualify to be bonded. Although Chapter 7 trustees are not federal employees, appointments are made consistent with federal Equal Opportunity policies, which prohibit discrimination in employment.
