The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Indiana upgraded its Case Management/Electronic Case Filing system (CM/ECF) to the Next Generation of CM/ECF (NextGen) on June 3, 2019.  This upgrade allows electronic filers to use one login and password for e-filing in any NextGen court in which they practice.  To become an electronic filer, please review the instructions below.
