NEW INTERACTIVE TRAINING MODULES NOW AVAILABLE ON U.S. DISTRICT COURT WEBSITE

In an effort to further assist attorneys with electronic filing, the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire has developed ten interactive computer-based training modules for users of the CM/ECF system. These modules exactly replicate the district's CM/ECF system and highlight the electronic filing rules specific to the District of New Hampshire. In addition to modules walking you through the process of filing a complaint, answer, motion or an objection to a motion, there are separate modules that provide an overview of electronic filing rules for the District of New Hampshire, demonstrate how to include hyperlinks in your filings and show you how to maintain your account to change your password or add/delete email addresses. These modules can be accessed at anytime when you need a quick tutorial prior to making an electronic filing or for a broader training session as your schedule allows.

To access these modules, please click here. Depending on the speed of your computer system, it may take between 3 to 5 minutes for the selected training module to load on your computer. You will also need Adobe Flash installed on your computer, which you can download from the court's training section of the website.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the ECF Help Desk at 1-800-776-0320 and select Option 8.
