Tennessee: US Western District Court to complete CM/ECF implementation
"Jan. 3 is game day," according to Thomas M. Gould, clerk of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, which operates in Memphis and Jackson.

That's the day Gould and his staff will find out just how good their preparation and planning have been for the final stages of transition from a paper-based court to a system of all electronic document processing and case management.

"The implementation of electronic case filing, known as ECF, ushers in a new era of law practice techniques and benefits for attorneys, as well as judges and court staff," said Gould, who joined the court in June and began implementing ECF in August. "ECF is a major operational and cultural change."

Getting prepared. The new system marks the second of two separate modules that have been put in place over a year and a half. The first, electronic case management, or CM, was launched in June 2004.
