Introduction to Electronic Case Filing (ECF)
On December 1, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New
York introduced a new Electronic Case Filing (ECF) system. The system is
designed to give maximum flexibility to both litigants and the Court, by allowing
for ease of filing and around the clock access to documents.
In cases designated for ECF, parties will be required to file documents
electronically.
Parties may view, file and receive service of documents over the Internet, 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. The system will apply to both civil and criminal cases,
and is similar to the system currently operated by the Eastern District Court of New
York, and the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District.
To learn more about ECF, go to the Court’s website, www.nysd.uscourts.gov and
follow these steps:
•

Click on the “CM-ECF” page to learn more about the system.

•

Attorneys should use the “Attorney Registration” page to register now online for an ECF Filing User password. A PACER password is not the same
as an ECF password. You must have an ECF password in order to file
documents electronically.

•

Read the Court’s rules for electronic filing on the ECF “Policies and
Procedures” page.

•

Learn to use the ECF system, and sign up for training classes on the “ECF
Training” page.

•

Use the “Point of Contact” (POC) page to register to be a POC between
your firm and the Court. POC’s will be the first to be notified by email of
interruptions in service, system upgrades, and trouble shooting tips. You
don’t have to be an attorney to be a POC.

•

Learn what computer hardware and software you will need to use ECF on

the “System Requirements” page.
•

Sign up now for a SDNY PACER account if you don’t already have one.
Call PACER at [phone], or go to http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov You
will need PACER to access ECF.

•

Call our ECF Help Desk if you have further questions: Monday - Friday,
8:30 AM-7:00 PM at [phone].
