*PLEASE BE ADVISED: These tutorials are meant to provide a general overview of the CM/ECF application, not to replace formal training.
EXPERIENCED E-FILERS
Attorneys who e-file bankruptcies in other jurisdictions and who have attended formal training with other bankruptcy courts may be able to complete e-mailed training exercises rather than attend a formal training session with this court.
Experienced e-filers who would like to attend a CM/ECF Refresher training session may do so by contacting the CM/ECF Help Desk in advance at 202-354-3281. Refresher training is offered on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 AM or Friday afternoons at 1:00 PM.
NEW E-FILERS
Attorneys who are new to e-filing will be asked to attend a training session conducted by Clerk's Office staff in the courthouse. Training lasts approximately two and a half to three hours. Before attending training, you should have a strong grasp of the skills listed in the CM/ECF Skills Checklist and have submitted your completed CM/ECF Attorney Training Registration Form.
The Clerk's Office provides CM/ECF training every Wednesday afternoon at 1:00 PM and Friday morning at 10:00 AM. You must schedule training in advance by calling the CM/ECF Help Desk at 202-354-3281, or Michael Wint at 202-354-3188.
