Chief Judge Kimberly A. Moore has appointed Jennifer H. Wu of Groombridge, Wu, Baughman & Stone LLP to the Advisory Council for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has approved updates to the 2025-2026 sessions calendar. The updated calendar is available on the court’s website.
On May 27, 2025, the court will launch a new caption generation utility for filers. This feature will allow parties and counsel associated with a case to easily generate the most up-to-date version of the case caption.
This new functionality will be found under the Utilities tab on the landing screen after logging into CM/ECF. Parties will have the option to either view the official case caption or save it in Word or HTML formats.
The court’s Electronic Filing Procedures will be updated on that date to reflect this addition.
On Sunday, May 11, 2025, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts will begin implementing multifactor authentication (MFA) to enhance system security for CM/ECF and PACER. CM/ECF users should enroll in MFA at their earliest convenience to preserve uninterrupted access and avoid missing filing deadlines. Users who do not voluntarily enroll in MFA will be randomly selected for mandatory enrollment starting in August 2025. All CM/ECF users must be enrolled in MFA to maintain system access by December 31, 2025. MFA enrollment will be optional for PACER-only access.
Please see the PACER Website (Multifactor Authentication Coming Soon) for more information. For questions regarding the MFA enrollment, contact the PACER Service Center at pacer@psc.uscourts.gov or (800) 676-6856.
