Terms of service
Short version: JudgeFinder is a free research lookup of public court record metadata. It is not legal advice and it can be wrong. Check the court's own records.
Using the site
You may use JudgeFinder to look up public judge and court records for lawful research, journalism, education and preparing for your own case. By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.
Not legal advice
JudgeFinder does not give legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Counts on a profile are numbers of docket records in this index. They are not a ruling analysis, a rating or a prediction about any judge or case. See the disclaimer.
Data and accuracy
Records come from CourtListener, a project of Free Law Project, and related public court records. JudgeFinder is not affiliated with CourtListener, Free Law Project, any court or any government agency. Records can be incomplete, out of date or matched to the wrong person. The site is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To report a problem, use Report a profile issue or email tanner@meshvault.ai.
What you may not do
- Use the site or its data to decide someone's credit, insurance, employment, housing or similar eligibility, or to build a consumer report. JudgeFinder is not a consumer reporting agency.
- Use the site to harass, threaten or retaliate against a judge, court staff or any person.
- Overload the site, or collect it in bulk with automated tools that ignore rate limits or robots.txt. Contact us if you need a bulk arrangement.
- Break the law, or interfere with the site's security.
Attorney directory
Attorney directory listings are written by the attorney, are labeled as listings, and are not recommendations or endorsements. A listing does not influence judge profiles, search order or any court record. Attorneys are responsible for following their state bar's advertising rules. We may decline or remove a listing at any time. See the attorney directory.
Limits on our responsibility
To the extent the law allows, JudgeFinder and its operator are not liable for any loss that comes from using or relying on the site, or from it being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms. The version posted here, with its effective date, applies. These terms are governed by California law. Questions: tanner@meshvault.ai. See also the privacy policy.
