Most judgments issued by the civil court are simply unsecured debts that are released by the filing of a bankruptcy.

However, there is one exception to this rule. If this judgment relates to intentional bodily harm, sexual assault, or wrongful debt, it cannot be cleared by the filing of a bankruptcy.
