CIVIL CASE OPENING BY ATTORNEYS:

The United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois now allows attorneys to open civil cases online via our Case Management Electronic Case Filing (CMECF) System. Click here for the full details.

The United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois would like to make CMECF filers aware of certain concerns related to a software application or “plug-in” called RECAP, which was designed by a group from Princeton University to enable sharing of court documents on the Internet. Information here.

In order to support better archival preservation of court documents, the Federal Judiciary is recommending that all scanned documents be created using a 300 dpi scan setting. This new setting may increase the digital file size of a scanned document over that of one created using a 200 dpi scan setting, as previously recommended. The Central District of Illinois is also increasing the maximum single-file size limit from the current 5mb to 7mb.
If you have any further questions please contact the U.S. Clerk’s Office in your respective localities.
