Attorneys and creditors filing in the Southern District of Illinois must complete the registration process to be issued a user id and password.
Before registering to become an ECF user, review the CM/ECF Skills Checklist, Hardware/Software Requirements, and the Attorney Tutorials. ¹
Please choose the appropriate registration option:
  1 If you are an attorney practicing in the Southern District of Illinois, we require that you attend an ECF Training class.  The Court offers two types of training classes: one for attorneys who work primarily with creditors and one for attorneys who work primarily with debtors.  Please contact the Clerk's Office at 618-482-9075 for available training dates and locations.
2 If you are an attorney who is a registered ECF filer in another bankruptcy court, you are not required to attend a training class. However, you must complete a Filing Exercise before a live login and password is issued. Complete the ECF Registration Form and mail it to the address on the form. A court representative will contact you with instructions.
3 If your company would like to register for limited filing privileges and is currently a registered ECF filer in another bankruptcy court, you are not required to complete training. However, you must complete a Filing Exercise before a live login and password is issued. Complete the ECF Registration Form and mail it to the address on the form. A court representative will contact you with instructions.
4 If your company would like to register for limited filing privileges and is not currently a registered ECF filer in another district, you will need to participate in telephonic training. Please contact the Clerk’s Office at 618-482-9075 to be placed on the training list.
