Attorney Certified in Another District to File ECF -
An attorney that has obtained a CM/ECF certification of filing and user ID and password from another bankruptcy court is not required to participate in additional training to receive a user ID and password to file electronically in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Alabama. On line registration requirements must be met in order to receive a user ID and password. Appearance pro hac vice and the order granting such motion, along with the $75.00 fee to District Court, and all other rules and requirements of appearing pro hac vice will continue to apply.
CM/ECF NextGen Information
The Federal Judiciary has developed a Next Generation (NextGen) Case Management / Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system that will allow you to use the same account for both PACER and electronic filing access. The functionality that allows filers to have one login and password to access any NextGen court and PACER is referred to as Central Sign-On (CSO). Alabama Northern Bankruptcy Court went live with CM/ECF NextGen on September 24, 2018.
