Electronic Case Filing (ECF) Tutorial is designed for attorneys and law firm staff interested in learning how to use the CM/ECF system. Through guided practice, using simulated CM/ECF screens and actions, you will learn how to file pleadings and other materials using the CM/ECF system.

The tutorial is divided into four modules, each of which contains sections that guide you through specific CM/ECF functions for civil and criminal filings.

If you are a new CM/ECF user, you should begin with Module 1 and continue on to complete the these tutorials. This is a self-paced tutorial: at any point you can bookmark your place and return when and where it is convenient to you. The entire tutorial will take you about one hour to complete.

To begin, select one of the section links to expand, and select one of the tutorials.
