  • Classroom training (optional)

Important:
All filers must successfully complete our CM/ECF test

Attorney Training Waiver

We encourage all attorneys and their staff to complete the training. However, if the attorney is unable to do so, he or she may waive their participation in the training and allow staff members to complete the training on their behalf.

The attorney must complete the CM/ECF Attorney Training Waiver form (in fillable Portable Document Format) and submit it to the court according to the form's instructions.

After a staff member successfully completes the training, the attorney will receive a login and password that permits access to the live CM/ECF system.

Then with attorney's permission, the staff member can use the attorney's login and password to file in CM/ECF.
