30 Days Until NextGen (CM/ECF)

Effective September 20, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts will upgrade its Case Management/Electronic Case Files (“CM/ECF”) software to the Next Generation (“NextGen”) of CM/ECF.

NextGen requires each electronic filer to have her/his/their own individual and upgraded PACER account. If you do not have an individual PACER account, you must register for one before the court upgrades to NextGen. If you have an individual PACER account issued prior to August 11, 2014, you must upgrade the account.

UPGRADING YOUR ACCOUNT

If you have not already upgraded your account, follow these steps BEFORE SEPTEMBER 20, 2021:

Register for your own individual PACER account by clicking the following link:

- OR -

Upgrade your individual pre-August 11, 2014, PACER account by clicking the following link:
https://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/pscof/login.jsf

NOTE: If you presently practice with a NextGen court, your account has been upgraded.
