What is Electronic Case Filing (ECF)?

Answer: 

The U.S. Courts maintain electronic case files and offer internet based electronic filing using the Case Management/ Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF). The CM/ECF system enables users to open new bankruptcy cases, adversary proceedings, and file case documents over the internet. Filing documents using the CM/ECF system requires: a personal computer running Windows or Mac OS X, a standard web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, an internet connection, and a court specific login.
