U.S. District & Bankruptcy Courts · PACER & CM/ECF · Planned
Federal CM/ECF free-look PDFs and state court filings in one morning run.
Short answer: Litigation firms that carry both state court matters (such as LASC Court Connect or New York NYSCEF) and federal matters in U.S. District Court (C.D. Cal., S.D.N.Y., E.D.N.Y., D.N.J., S.D. Fla., S.D. Tex.) shouldn't need separate workflows for state and federal dockets. Federal PACER and CM/ECF Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF) capture is Planned on ConnectMyDocket so your federal free-look PDFs are captured, renamed and filed into the same case folders.
Never miss a CM/ECF free look or split your state and federal folders
When a federal Notice of Electronic Filing arrives, the CM/ECF link grants one free download before PACER charges per page. If an attorney clicks the link on a phone without saving the PDF to the case folder, the free look is spent and a paralegal has to log in to PACER later, pay for the document again, rename it and file it by hand.
Our planned CM/ECF connector captures the free-look PDF automatically, renames it to your firm's exact convention, places it in your case folder and combines your federal and state court activity into one 7:00 AM digest.
Federal PACER & CM/ECF questions
- What is the status of Federal PACER and CM/ECF support?
- Federal court support (PACER and CM/ECF Notice of Electronic Filing capture) is Planned. ConnectMyDocket currently runs Los Angeles Superior Court (Court Connect) Live every weekday and is setting up its first group of New York NYSCEF firms.
- How does CM/ECF "one free look" capture work?
- When a federal court issues a Notice of Electronic Filing (NEF), CM/ECF provides one free look at the filed PDF before PACER per-page fees apply. The planned federal connector captures that free-look PDF automatically via a dedicated notice-forwarding address, renames it to your firm’s convention, files it in the matching case folder and includes it in the same 7:00 AM morning digest as your state court matters.
- Which federal district courts are covered?
- Because CM/ECF Notice of Electronic Filing emails follow a standard structure across U.S. District Courts (including C.D. Cal., N.D. Cal., S.D. Cal., S.D.N.Y., E.D.N.Y., D.N.J., S.D. Fla., M.D. Fla., S.D. Tex., N.D. Tex. and E.D. Tex.), one federal connector covers federal civil dockets nationwide alongside your state courts.
