We have been involved in all aspects of ECF / PACER.
The Administrative Office of the United States Courts is moving
swiftly to implement a case management/electronic case filing (CM/ECF)
system in all district, appellate, and bankruptcy courts nationwide.
The case management (CM) and docketing portion replaces the aging
software currently used by most courts with a nationally-supported but
flexible system that allows courts to customize its own docketing and
reporting capability. The electronic case files (ECF) portion allows
courts to manage documents electronically to whatever extent they
choose, from allowing attorneys to e-file documents and create docket
entries over the Internet, to having court staff convert paper
documents into electronic form by scanning. It also provides 24-hour
access to case files by judges, court staff, and the public in a
reliable and secure electronic form.
The primary method to obtain access to electronic case files
through the Internet will be through a modified version of the old
Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER), called ECF-PACER.
This new web-based system will contain both the dockets (a list of the
documents filed in the case) and, after the court begins accepting
electronic case filings, electronic copies of the actual case file
documents.
ECF will eventually
become the primary method for filing documents with the court and for
receiving case information from the court.
We frequently are asked
the question:
"Can I
file electronically with your Bankruptcy Case Software?"
The short answer is
absolutely YES (and not just with our Bankruptcy Case
Software but with all of our software).
The long answer requires
a little explanation. To file electronically, you need to create
PDF (portable document
format) files which were developed by Adobe Corporation. These
PDF files can then be e-mailed,
uploaded, or mailed on diskette to the Court that requires the
electronic filing. An online tutorial is located
here.
Our Bankruptcy Case
Software has a built-in PDF driver. It's absolutely FREE
with purchase. You don't need to purchase Adobe distiller, Adobe
acrobat, or any additional product. You can create PDF files quickly
and easily and we can activate the driver the day the software is
ordered. The driver works on stand-alone PCs or networks.
The software also has a Case Upload feature that allows you to login
into your specific Bankruptcy Court's website to transmit the current
Bankruptcy Case you are working on.
Our Bankruptcy Case Software is the
best on the market. We installed all of our competitor's software,
studied them extensively and evaluated their price. Our software is
less expensive and offers more features than any other package on the
