NextGen simplifies electronic filing by having one central sign-on to search and file for all courts using NextGen CM/ECF (with granted e-filing privileges). By combining your CM/ECF and PACER accounts into one account, the login process allows e-filing attorneys and limited non-attorneys users to use one PACER login and password to access any NextGen Court (appellate, bankruptcy, and district) in which they practice from one central location. The same account will also provide access to all federal court cases and records that are available through PACER′s Case Search function.
What To Do, Now (Prior to October 29, 2021) and On or After November 1, 2021
Preparation for NextGen can begin now for all e-filers.
