Answer: 

CM/ECF stands for Case Management/Electronic Case Filing. CM/ECF is software that is accessed using standard computer hardware, an internet connection, and browser. The system accepts documents in Portable Document Format (.pdf) and allows registered users to electronically file and/or access documents 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the internet. Additionally, filers and other parties* in the case receive an automatically-generated notice verifying court receipt of filings. (*Only those parties who are CM/ECF users will receive electronic notification). NOTE: CM/ECF is tested for compatibility with Internet Explorer, Firefox/Mozilla, and Safari browsers. CM/ECF is not compatible with the Chrome browser and has not been tested with the Edge browser.
