Email Announcements

The court maintains email lists for official court announcements and updates. The lists supplement the website by enabling the court to communicate quickly about time-sensitive issues and to reach out via email to subscribers. You may freely join or unsubscribe from these lists at any time by following the instructions on this page.

The court maintains the following email lists:

  • CAND-NEWS: Court News including changes in local rules, court holidays, security access changes, etc. (Anyone regularly practicing law in or doing business with the Northern District is strongly encouraged to subscribe.)
  • CAND-ECF: Electronic Case Filing (ECF) updates, including technical information, rule changes, service outages, etc. (ECF users are strongly encouraged to subscribe.)
  • CAND-PRAC: Practice Program program announcements.
  • CAND-HIST: Historical Society program announcements.

The lists are hosted by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, but are managed by court staff in the Northern District of California.
