CM/ECF History
Court Personnel began using the new case management system (CM) on  October 29, 2001.  CM/ECF was created by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts for use by all bankruptcy courts in the nation.

What is Case Management /Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF)?

CM/ECF is a two-part solution to the judiciary's case management and filing needs. It has been motivated by the necessity of replacing an aging family of case management application (BANCAP). At the same time that the judiciary is replacing outdated case management systems, today's technology has advanced to the point that information can be efficiently and securely exchanged electronically. Accordingly, the system includes the capability for electronic files, including the ability to accept court filings over the Internet.

CM/ECF allows all documents associated with a court case to be managed electronically. It supports the unique interests of different communities -- courts, attorneys and the public -- while providing a next generation case management system. CM was the replacement for the court’s BANCAP database which incorporates electronic filings (ECF) by external users into the system.
