Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF)

Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) is a digital system used by courts to manage and store case-related documents and information electronically. It allows lawyers, judges, and court staff to file, access, and track legal documents online, streamlining the court process and improving efficiency. With CM/ECF, documents are submitted electronically, which reduces paper use and makes it easier to search and retrieve case files. This system enhances transparency and accessibility, allowing all parties involved in a case to stay updated and organized throughout legal proceedings.
