US Court of Appeals for the 3rd circuit will implement mandatory e-filing on Nov. 1
Ready or not, New Jersey lawyers with federal court cases will have to start learning to file papers electronically. Starting Nov. 1, a change in local rules of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals requires that all briefs be filed in electronic form as well as on paper.

The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey will soon follow suit. By Jan. 31, the court will make mandatory participation in its heretofore voluntary e-filing system, known as CM/ECF. Lawyers will have to register with the court's Web site and be trained on using the system.
