Question 

Is there a difference between PACER and CM/ECF?

Answer 

 

Yes. Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) is an electronic public access service that allows users to obtain case and docket information from federal appellate, district, and bankruptcy courts and from the US Party/Case Index. A login and password must be issued by PACER. Please visit the PACER Service Center at www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov for additional information. Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) is a nationally-supported system for docketing, reporting, and filing of documents in electronic format. The CM/ECF system allows for 24-hour desktop access to case files by judges, court staff, attorneys of record, and the general public. If an attorney, including a party proceeding pro se, wishes to file electronically in this court, the attorney must register for electronic filing and receive a login and password issued by this court.
