The Middle District of Florida uses Case Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) for e-filing, managing case files, and providing lawyers easy access to court rulings and case files. When e-filing, lawyers should take care to know the privacy standards in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2, Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 49.1, and Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 9037.
Lawyers seeking membership and e-filing access for the first time, must visit the court's For Lawyers page for membership details and e-file registration information.
