     The LRAC is coordinated by Matthew Rodman, Attorney Advisor to the Clerk of Court.  Questions concerning the LRAC can be submitted at: attorney_advisor@moeb.uscourts.gov.  The local rules are reviewed annually by the LRAC and other stakeholders in the bankruptcy system for possible revisions and additions.  Prior to adoption of any new or amended local rule, the Court requires public notice of the proposed new or amended rule and an opportunity for comment.
