What is the Case Management/Electronic case file (CM/ECF) project?
CM/ECF is a two-part solution to the judiciary’s case management and filing needs. The system includes the capability for electronic files, including the ability to accept court filings over the Internet. CM/ECF allows all documents associated with a court case to be managed electronically. It supports the unique interests of different communities — courts, attorneys and the public — while providing a next generation case management system. Eventually the traditional case file will be a completely electronic “case file” that does not have any or very little paper.
