Maine eCourts Scheduled to be Implemented in Cumberland County Courts in September
Date: 8/4/2026
The Maine Judicial Branch announced today that the schedule for transitioning courts in Cumberland County (comprising Judicial Region 2) from paper filing to electronic filing (eFiling) is scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026. The next implementation includes all case types in the Cumberland County Unified Criminal Docket (UCD), Cumberland County Superior Court, Portland District Court, and Bridgton District Court.
Attorneys, government agencies (except law enforcement agencies), and parties who file more than six non-emergency cases in a calendar year, are required to eFile in courts that have implemented Maine eCourts. Self-represented parties are not required to eFile and can continue to file documents as they always have, in paper at the courthouse, by mail, or by email if filing a protection from abuse or harassment case.
Attorneys and other required eFilers should prepare in advance for the transition, and take note of upcoming presentation and trainings:
