ST. LOUIS, MO – October 7, 2026 (STL.News) Americans considering bankruptcy will encounter a revised set of federal rules beginning Dec. 1, including changes intended to prevent some debtors from having cases closed without receiving a discharge because they missed a procedural deadline.

The amendments generally will apply to bankruptcy proceedings commenced after that date and,

ST. LOUIS, MO – October 5, 2026 (STL.News) The criminal justice system is often described through its institutions — police departments, prosecutors’ offices, federal agencies, and courts.

Between them, Albus and Boyce have accumulated decades of experience in law enforcement, prosecution, government, and the courts. Boyce brings
