Once the application has been granted by the Court, you must request e-filing access through PACER. This is a one-time requirement. Subsequent applications for admission pro hac vice will not require further access requests. More detail is available at: http://www.gand.uscourts.gov/ecf-access-phv-attorneys. You also may contact attorney admissions staff at 404-215-1600 with any questions.

Once you have received e-filing access, you will have privileges to electronically file and view documents, view official docket sheets, and query various reports for cases in the Electronic Case Files ("ECF") system. Users of the ECF system must comply with the Federal Rules of Civil & Criminal Procedure; the Local Rules, including the Standing Order and procedures in Appendix H; and all administrative orders and policies of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

You also consent to receiving notices of filing pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure via the ECF system.
