Welcome to Electronic Case Filing 101

The Electronic Case Filing (ECF) Tutorial is designed for attorneys interested in learning how to use the CM/ECF system. Through guided practice, using simulated CM/ECF screens and actions, you will learn how to file pleadings and other materials using the CM/ECF system.

The tutorial consists of three modules. The first two modules guide you through specific CM/ECF functions such as how to file a motion. The third module contains a link to an Adobe Acrobat tutorial on working with PDF documents.

If you are a new CM/ECF user, you should begin with Module 1 and continue to the end of Module 3. At any point in the tutorial, you can bookmark your place and return when and where it is convenient to you.
