The Electronic Case Filing (ECF) Tutorial is designed for attorneys interested in learning how to use the CM/ECF system. An attorney using the tutorial will learn key CM/ECF functions through guided practice using simulated CM/ECF screens and actions.

The tutorial consists of five modules, each of which contains sections that guide the user through specific CM/ECF functions such as how to file an answer to a complaint or how to file attachments to a motion.

At the end of the tutorial, an attorney will be able to do the following in CM/ECF:

• log into the CM/ECF system
• file an answer to a complaint;
• file a motion;
• file a response to a motion with an attachment;
• view a docket sheet;
• view a case calendar;
• view a cases filed report;
• perform queries; and
• add a party to a case.

All of the tutorial sections follow a similar design.
