CM/ECF Attorney Training

Note: Attorneys are required to attend session personally to obtain CM/ECF login and password.


The CM/ECF Attorney/Staff class is very “hands-on” and will allow attorneys and their staff to become familiar with electronic case filing in a controlled, non-threatening environment.


This course will focus on the most common pleadings that attorneys will be filing on behalf of clients.  Attorneys who do take-home exercises will need to have them completed and assessed before receiving a login to the “live” CM/ECF system.


The following subjects will be addressed:

● Necessary Computer Equipment and Skills for CM/ECF (overview)
● How to Open a Bankruptcy Case using CM/ECF
● How to Open an Adversary Case using CM/ECF
● How to File a Motion with Certificate of Service
● How to Upload & Link an Order
●  Filing Proofs of Claim with attachments
●   Creating Reports (Cases Report, Claims Register, Docket Report)
●  User Maintenance
●  Review of the take-home assignment (for those receiving a live login)
●  Questions & Answers

Note:

New staff or staff wishing to return for ‘refresher’ training are welcome to register for additional training (attorney need not accompany staff).
