If the attorney is not counsel of record but wants to receive emails about the case, they can be designated as an “interest.” To do this, log in to CM/ECF by clicking here: https://www.flsd.uscourts.gov/cmecf and click on the ‘Utilities’ feature in the menu bar.

Next, select the link “Maintain Your Account” and then click on the “Email Information” button. On the following screen, click on the primary email address to reveal the configuration options. Enter the case number for which you want to receive notifications (NEFs) in the appropriate field under “Case-specific options” – “Add additional cases for noticing.” After entering the case number, click the “Find This Case” button. When the case list appears, select the case, and click the “Add case(s)” button.

To confirm that the case has been added, look for a display box underneath “These cases will send notice per filing.” This box will list the case numbers linked to the primary email designated for receiving email notifications. You may need to scroll through the list to find the case number you just added. Once you locate it, you should see “(interest)” at the end of the case information, which will confirm that the process was completed correctly.

When you have finished updating your account, click on “Return to Person Information Screen.” Click on “Submit,” then ‘‘Submit” on the following page.

Please note that the one free look (one free copy) does not apply to any cases in which you are added as an “interest.”
