NextGen CM/ECF Information

The Federal Judiciary has developed a Next Generation (NextGen) Case Management / Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system that allows using the same account for both PACER and electronic filing access (ECF).

New Functionality for NextGen CM/ECF Users

NextGen CM/ECF is an upgraded version of CM/ECF. NextGen CM/ECF brings new functionality in that it allows users to use a single login and password (also called central sign-on) for electronic filing and PACER access in federal courts (bankruptcy, district, and appellate). This central sign-on will allow access to all NextGen courts in which you have permission to file electronically. The Nebraska Bankruptcy Court went live on NextGen on Tuesday, February 20, 2018. 

 

Note:

Not all courts have instituted NextGen CM/ECF.

If you file in courts that have not converted to NextGen, you must continue to use their CM/ECF logins and passwords until they begin using NextGen CM/ECF.
