At the request of the Judicial Conference Committee on Court Administration and Case Management (CACM), the Federal Judicial Center reviewed the local court rules of the district and appellate courts to identify rules requiring redaction of specified private information from court filings.

This report compiles local rules and procedures in the ninety-four district courts on electronic filing by self-represented litigants. More than two thirds of the courts permit self-represented litigants to use the court’s electronic filing system at least on a case-by-case basis.

This report, and the study on which it is based, were undertaken pursuant to a House Committee Recommendation to the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023.

This report summarizes court orders (administrative, standing, or general) that the U.S. federal courts have issued regarding authorization of interim payments to Criminal Justice Act (CJA) panel attorneys.
