CM/ECF

 

Welcome to the court's Case Management/Electronic Case Filing web page.
Mandatory electronic filing of all documents for all registered participants became effective on January 1, 2005.

The court currently offers several levels of access to the CM/ECF system depending on the types of documents you need to file.

CM/ECF attorney accounts are available to members of the California State Bar Association, and in good standing with the United States District Court for Northern District of California. To obtain an account, you may either attend one of our ECF classes or, if you already file electronically in another CM/ECF bankruptcy court, request a training waiver.

Limited access accounts do not require attendance at a training class but participants are required to complete an online training exercise. Limited access logins are available for:

  • Individuals wishing to file claims and related claims events;

  • Resolution Advocates who would like to docket BDRP findings; and

  • Other specialized accounts.

If you have any questions, please send an email to ecf_training@canb.uscourts.gov

 

Please note, electronic case documents are only available via PACER.
