NJ-D — Filing & Service
D.N.J. — NJ-D requires CM/ECF filing of all civil documents.
NJ-D requires CM/ECF filing of all civil documents. Sealing is governed by Civ. R. 5.3, which is also the confidentiality-order rule — the two access-restriction procedures are unified.
Mechanics
- CM/ECF filing (Civ. R. 5.2): Mandatory.
- Sealing (Civ. R. 5.3): Confidentiality orders and motions to seal are governed by the same rule. The motion-to-seal is publicly filed; sealed material is filed under seal subject to the court's order.
- Discovery materials: Not filed unless used.
