CM/ECF is an
acronym for Case Management / Electronic Case Files. It
is a
system being used in many bankruptcy and district courts across
the country to provide certified filers the option to file case documents in electronic format,
via the Internet.
Access levels to CM/ECF vary by the
type of document you are filing. Some documents, such as claims,
can be filed by any certified creditor representatives. Other documents, such as
motions and objections, may only be filed by certified attorneys
and their staff. Your login determines the access level you have
in the CM/ECF system.
