Parties can file an appeal from a bankruptcy court decision in the federal district court; some federal circuits have a Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAPs exist only in the First, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Circuits) as another avenue of appeal. Note that 28 U.S.C.158(d)(2) provides for direct appeal from bankruptcy court to the circuit court of appeals under certain conditions.
