How to Register
Last Updated: September 9, 2010

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Western District of Wisconsin requires that all ECF filers for this district submit a Registration Form in order to schedule training and/or be issued live logins to file electronically.

Basic ECF and Advanced ECF training is for attorneys and their staff to learn how to file electronically. CLE credit is available to attorneys. Limited Use/Access offers attorneys and creditor representatives limited access to CM/ECF.

Once the appropriate Registration Form has been submitted, you may be contacted by a court representative to schedule additional training or have a login issued.

NOTE:  Use of the CM/ECF system is limited to authorized users. As indicated in the Attorney/Participant Registration Form signed by all registered users, the combination of an authorized password and user identification constitutes the participant's "signature" of any documents that are submitted electronically through the CM/ECF system. Passwords should not be shared with unauthorized users, as only the authorized attorney/participant will be deemed to have signed the pleading for purposes of Fed. R. Bankr. Pro. 9011. If there is any reason to suspect that your password has been compromised in any way, it is your responsibility to immediately notify the Court so that the password can be changed.
