OVERVIEW
All ECF users will be issued an account
with a user login and password. The
ECF login provides registered users the ability to submit pleadings electronically
to the court. Public users (attorneys, trustees, and creditors) must also
log into PACER to inquire on cases
or look at reports.
Non-court users can access their own
account information through the Maintain
Your ECF Account menu. Using this option, participants can update their
name, mailing and E-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers, and password.
Users can
therefore control the accuracy of their own information in a timely manner.
