The Judicial Conference has determined that transcripts must be available in the Office of the Clerk from their original filing. After a transcript has been redacted, the Clerk will seal the original, unredacted transcript. As with any other document, a party can always ask the Court to seal a transcript.

The court's transcript policy and procedure is available at:

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.

For additional information on CM/ECF, please visit the U.S. Courts website at:
