Corrections and Editorial Policy

JudicialFinder is a neutral, sourced reference about United States judges. This page explains the editorial stance behind the data and how to request a correction. For exactly where each fact comes from, see our data and sources and methodology pages.

1. Sourced Facts, Not Verdicts

We lead with neutral, sourced facts and the relationships between them, drawn from public records: the Federal Judicial Center, CourtListener / Free Law Project, Senate roll-call votes, and public court-administration data. We treat ideology only as a sourced proxy, for example the party of the appointing president, and never as our own editorial verdict. We do not predict case outcomes and we do not host user ratings of judges.

2. We Do Not Assert Misconduct

We do not assert or imply that any judge has engaged in misconduct. Where a fact is a matter of public record, we present it as a sourced fact with a citation, in neutral terms, and let the source speak for itself.

3. Requesting a Correction

If you believe something on the Service is wrong or out of date, we want to fix it. Email support@judicialfinder.com with the page URL, the specific fact you believe is incorrect, and, if you can, the primary source that shows the correct information. We will check it against the primary source and correct the record where warranted.

4. Verify Against the Primary Source

Everything on JudicialFinder is informational. Public sources contain errors and judicial records change over time. Before relying on any fact for a legal, professional, or official purpose, verify it against the primary source cited on the page.
