Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) is the new automated case management and electronic docketing system. CM/ECF provides a new, easy-to-use electronic case filing feature that will make life easier for you by allowing you to file and view court documents over the Internet. CM/ECF will allow attorneys to file and view documents from their office, home or anywhere they have access to the Internet, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Documents are automatically docketed as part of the E-filing process and are immediately available electronically. CM/ECF also provides the following benefits:

• 24-hour access to filed documents over the Internet.
• Automatic e-mail notice of case activity.
• The ability to download and print documents directly from the court system.
• Concurrent access to case files by multiple parties.
• Secure storage of documents (so files are not misplaced).
• Reduced paper costs.
• No need for couriers, runners, or mail when filing documents with the court.
