ACCOUNT REGISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE FOR eCRB USERS

The CRB is in the process of uploading the complete record of active proceedings into the eCRB system. For the CRB to associate attorneys with the participants they represent in the added proceedings, attorneys must be registered in eCRB.  The CRB urges any attorney or pro se party who has appeared in past proceedings and has not yet registered to do so. An attorney or pro se participant that fails to register might not receive electronic notices from eCRB regarding activity in the added proceedings. 

Attorneys and other registered eCRB users must log in at least every thirty days in order to keep their accounts active so they will receive any notification of filings to which they are entitled. Users must also change their password every sixty days. Click here to register or log in.
