CM/ECF Attorney/Trustee Manual

Introduction

The Attorney/Trustee Manual is another invaluable CM/ECF resource because it contains a complete set of detailed, step-by-step procedures and instructions for CM/ECF filing. The manual's procedures were developed especially for our electronic filers. Each procedure methodically describes how to file documents, lists the forms used for that document and document event, and provides links to those forms, as well as to associated procedures.

The Attorney/Trustee Manual always contains the latest procedures and information for CM/ECF filing. Whenever a change occurs in the CM/ECF system, corresponding sections of the manual also are updated. Therefore, you should rely solely on the online manual, as it always contains the most current CM/ECF procedures.

Because the Attorney/Trustee Manual is available online, you can easily access this reference at any time to review the steps of a particular procedure or to check what forms you need for a filing. You'll find a direct link to the manual on the CM/ECF Main Menu bar, or you can access the manual from the CM/ECF page on the Court's Web site.
