NextGen CM/ECF

On November 15, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada upgraded the Case Management/Electronic Case Filing System (CM/ECF) to the Next Generation of CM/ECF (NextGen). NextGen simplifies electronic filing by combining ECF and PACER accounts into a single account. 

Benefits of NextGen for the CM/ECF Filer

One of the benefits in NextGen is Central Sign-On (CSO), a login process that allows e-filing attorneys and non-attorneys to use one PACER login and password to access any NextGen court (district, appellate, and bankruptcy) in which they have permission to file. Click here to access the PACER website.

Note:  Not all courts have implemented NextGen CM/ECF. If you file in courts that have not converted to NextGen, you must continue to use that court's CM/ECF login and password until they implement NextGen CM/ECF.  Click here to see the status for courts.
