Advanced electronic filing training is offered at the courthouse twice per year, in May and October. The course covers Adobe Acrobat skills such as reducing file size, creating bookmarks, and redaction; creating hyperlinks within filings; and CM/ECF skills such as working with attachments, and filing sealed, restricted, and ex parte documents.

The court may also arrange to send a trainer to your office if you have a group of 10 or more and a facility that allows for hands-on computer training. For information, contact the CMECF Instructor or call 1-866-220-4381, option 0 (Omaha) or 1-866-220-4379, option 0 (Lincoln).
