ALMD Transitions to NextGen CM/ECF on May 3, 2021

February 12, 2021

The Alabama Middle District will transition to the Next Generation Case Management/Electronic Case Files (NextGen) system on May 3, 2021. In anticipation of this upgrade, we have prepared information to assist electronic filers in our Court.

Once implemented (on May 3, 2021), electronic filers will be required to use their individual PACER log in credentials to access the Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system. The e-filer will no longer toggle between two sets of credentials and logging into two systems. NextGen Courts will use a Central Sign-On feature.

To assist you in preparing for this upgraded system, you can go to our NextGen page to find instructional PDF documents, videos, and frequently asked questions. 

For PACER-related questions, contact PACER via phone at (800) 676-6856 or visit their site at www.pacer.uscourts.gov. For assistance with your current ALMD-provided CM/ECF credentials or with linking your account AFTER the court transitions on May 3, 2021, contact the Court at (334) 954-3935 during normal business hours.
