      <title>eFiling Training for Maine Attorneys and Staff (10 Sep 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;eFiling Training for Maine Attorneys and Staff (Non-Prosecutor)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;Maine eCourts, including electronic filing (eFiling), will be implemented in all case types on Monday, September 28, 2026, in Judicial Region 2 (Cumberland County) courts. Once eFiling is implemented, attorneys and State and local government entities, except for law enforcement, will be required to use the eFileMaine system to electronically file documents in the following courts:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;
  &lt;li style="color:black;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Cumberland County Unified Criminal Docket (UCD),&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="color:black;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Cumberland County Superior Court,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="color:black;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Bridgton District Court, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="color:black;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Portland District Court.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;To prepare for this transition, two in-person eFiling trainings will be offered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;Attorneys and staff should select the date that best fits their schedule. The trainings will be held at the York Judicial Center at 515 Elm Street in Biddeford from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul type="disc"&gt;
  &lt;li style="color:black;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Session #1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: Thursday, September 10,&amp;nbsp;OR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li style="color:black;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Session #2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;: Friday, September 11&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;Registration is required to attend this training session.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#0563C1"&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScl0yj0PXxzQzTjL-bkE0Gbfr0d54yjSipiFpXe42P4LgQh_w/viewform?usp=sharing&amp;amp;ouid=104732698138748239050"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0563C1"&gt;Please sign up here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;Attendees must bring their own laptops to the training session to participate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=" color:black"&gt;What to expect at training&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
