The majority of courts allow either electronic filing (computer format) or paper filing. A small number of courts only allow electronic filing. Likewise, a small number of courts only accept paper filings. The trend however is clear: all courts will eventually accept only electronic filing and will probably continue to accept diskettes at the clerk's office rather than requiring only online submission. The goal adopted by the U.S. Court system apparently requires the elimination of paper documents by 2010.

Daily operation and administration procedures for New York Bankruptcy Courts are determined by the Administrative Office of US Courts.
