Effective January 1, 2008, attorneys will no longer have the option of filing paper documents with the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Electronic filing will be required for all petitions, pleadings, orders, correspondence and documents of any kind filed with the Bankruptcy Court by both debtors' attorneys and creditors' attorneys.
________________________________________________________________________________________
To enhance the registration process for new electronic filers, the Bankruptcy Clerk's Office has added an online submission process. To register for an electronic filing account on this Court’s Electronic Case Filing System (CM-ECF), please click here. CM/ECF Website (Wisconsin - Eastern - Bankruptcy)
CM/ECF Training System - The CM/ECF Training system provides functionality similar to the CM/ECF Live system. Filers are able to experience CM/ECF without affecting the status of cases already in the Live CM/ECF system. If you do not already have access to the training system or need assistance with your login, please contact our Help Desk at 414-297-3291 ext. 3200. CM/ECF F.A.Q.

Pay.gov Attorney/Trustee Manual On November 12, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin implemented Pay.gov, a secure, electronic payment system that allows CM/ECF users to pay for transactions on-line. Using Pay.gov is mandatory for CM/ECF users, as this court will no longer keep an individual's credit card information on hand. Using Pay.gov is a straightforward task, much like buying a product from an on-line store. You will need your credit card at the end of a transaction or at the end of the day to settle your accounts. Please remember that payment is required for all transactions within a 24 hour period. If you do not make a payment, your access to CM/ECF will be temporarily disabled.
There are a number of resources to help you in the transition to Pay.gov. Please click here to find a Pay.gov Attorney/Trustee Manual. This is a brief, simple PDF document that you are welcome to read if you find making transactions on-line difficult, or if you having a problem paying for a particular transaction. You are also welcome to call Jill Lass at 414.297.3291. Jill is willing to answer technical questions you may have.
