What is CM/ECF?
CM/ECF — the Case Management/Electronic Case Files project — is a joint project of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and the federal courts to replace old case management systems with a new system based on current technology, new software, and increased functionality. This system gives federal courts the ability to maintain electronic case files and offer electronic filing of court documents over the Internet.
CM is an acronym for Case Management and ECF is an acronym for Electronic Case Filing. It is a system that will be used nationally by the Federal Court system. CM/ECF will replace the case management system(s) currently being used by the US Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky AutoCOP and BANCAP. The new system is based on current technology and new software. In addition to providing the courts with updated tools for managing their cases, this new system will enable the courts to maintain electronic case files and offers both access to the files and electronic filing over the Internet.
