Since access is limited to authorized attorneys, is there any way for pro se filers or attorneys without Internet access to file documents in ECF cases?
Yes, there is. An attorney with a computer (Windows or Macintosh) that can save documents in PDF can save the documents on a diskette and file the diskette with the court. An attorney who has a computer but not Adobe Acrobat can save documents in either Microsoft Word or WordPerfect format and file the diskette with the court. The court would then convert those files to PDF and upload them into ECF. The system is also capable of accepting paper input from pro se filers and others as necessary. In that case, the court would convert the papers to electronic format by scanning and then add the scanned image into the ECF system.
