When Do I 
Have to Start?

     
Pursuant to Standing Order 03-1, which reads in part:

"An attorney who is not a Filing User within six months after the effective date of this Standing Order [March 3, 2003] must show to the presiding judge good cause to file and serve pleadings and other papers in the traditional manner. A party who is not represented by counsel may file papers with the clerk in the traditional manner, but is not precluded from filing electronically."

All attorneys practicing in the Middle District of Pennsylvania must sign up for ECF by September 3, 2003 or show to the presiding judge good cause to file and serve pleadings and other papers in the traditional manner.
