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 Middle District of Tennessee, primarily in
the Nashville Division. 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.
§326 and §330.
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.
Forward resumes to the United States Trustee via email to
USTP.Region08TrusteeApplicants@usdoj.gov. All resumes should be received on or before
December 15, 2024.
