How to Remove Court Records from CaseMine (2026 Guide)

What Is CaseMine?

CaseMine is an AI-powered legal research platform built to help attorneys, law students, and legal researchers find and analyze court decisions more efficiently. Its AI tools include citation analysis, similar case discovery, and judge analytics - layered on top of a large database of court opinions. Learn more about expungement vs. record sealing on our blog.

What distinguishes CaseMine from older platforms like Justia or CourtListener is its scope: CaseMine indexes not only US court opinions but also cases from international jurisdictions including the United Kingdom, India, Canada, and others. This makes it relevant for individuals with cases that have any cross-border dimension - but also means US cases appear alongside international content in its database.

For US users, CaseMine primarily indexes published court opinions - written decisions that contain detailed factual narratives and name the parties involved. These pages are publicly accessible and indexed by Google, meaning a CaseMine listing for your case can appear in search results for name-based queries.

Why Does Your Record Appear on CaseMine?

CaseMine indexes published court opinions from US federal and state courts, sourcing content from publicly available legal databases. Your record may appear because:

• You are a named party in a case that produced a published court opinion
• Your name appears in the factual background of an opinion even if you are not the primary party
• A federal appellate decision involving your case was published and indexed
• A state court opinion naming you was scraped and added to CaseMine's database
• A business entity with your name appears in a published corporate or commercial litigation opinion

CaseMine's AI tools can surface connections between cases and parties that other platforms may not highlight - meaning your name might appear not just on your direct case page, but also in related-case recommendations or citation networks that other users can browse.

Does CaseMine Have a Removal Process?

CaseMine accepts privacy and removal requests through their contact form and privacy team. Because the platform is relatively newer and its policies are still evolving, the removal process is less formalized than what you would encounter with a consumer data broker like Spokeo, so a formal request citing legal grounds is the way in, and those requests can be effective.

The strongest grounds for a CaseMine removal request include:

• A court order expunging or sealing the underlying US case
• A court order directing redaction of personal information from the published opinion
• GDPR rights, if you are an EU resident whose case appears in CaseMine's international database
• Compelling privacy interest - particularly cases involving sensitive circumstances, acquittals, or inadvertently published personal details
• Documented errors in the information CaseMine is displaying

The evolving nature of CaseMine's policies means persistence pays off. An initial reply or a quiet inbox is a prompt to follow up, and Google de-indexing can proceed in parallel while the direct request is pending.

Step-by-Step: How to Submit a Removal Request to CaseMine

1. 1
   Find every CaseMine page showing your record. Search CaseMine directly and use Google with queries combining your name and "casemine.com". Note every URL and take dated screenshots.
2. 2
   Identify your legal basis. Do you have an expungement or sealing order? Are you an EU resident with GDPR rights? Is your basis a compelling privacy interest? Determine your strongest grounds before drafting your request.
3. 3
   Gather documentation. Obtain certified copies of any court orders. If your basis is privacy harm, prepare a concise written explanation of the specific harm the CaseMine listing causes.
4. 4
   Submit via CaseMine's contact form or privacy email. Draft a formal request identifying yourself (by case reference, not unnecessary personal detail), specifying the exact URLs, stating your legal basis, and attaching documentation.
5. 5
   Invoke GDPR if applicable. If you are an EU resident or your case has EU dimensions, explicitly invoke your right to erasure under Article 17 of the GDPR. GDPR requests require a response within 30 days.
6. 6
   Follow up and escalate. If no response within two weeks (or 30 days for GDPR requests), follow up and note your intent to escalate to Google de-indexing and applicable data protection authorities.

If the Direct Request Stalls - Google De-Indexing

When CaseMine's own process does not fully resolve the request, Google de-indexing is a practical route. The CaseMine page may stay online, but removing it from Google's search index can address the primary source of harm for most people - the appearance of the listing in search results.

Using Google's Removal Tools

Two Google tools are relevant here. First, the Personal Information Removal Tool: submit the specific CaseMine URLs and explain the personal information they contain and the harm caused by continued indexing. Google evaluates these requests based on the nature of the content and the potential for harm.

Second, if CaseMine has since removed or updated the page and an old version persists in Google's cache, use the Outdated Content Removal Tool to request that Google refresh its cached version of the page.

After Expungement or Sealing - Getting CaseMine Updated

Not automatically, so a documented request is what gets it updated. The opinion was indexed when it was publicly available, and CaseMine has no automated process to monitor later changes to the legal status of indexed cases, which is why submitting your order matters.

After receiving an expungement or sealing order, steps specific to CaseMine include:

• Obtain a certified copy of your order from the court clerk
• Identify all CaseMine pages referencing the now-sealed or expunged case
• Submit a formal removal request with the order attached, clearly noting the change in legal status
• Follow up with Google de-indexing for any pages that remain on CaseMine
• Address other platforms simultaneously - CaseMine is rarely the only site displaying a published opinion

Working with Professionals on CaseMine Removal

CaseMine is typically one of several platforms displaying the same published opinion. A case that appears on CaseMine is likely also on Justia, Leagle, CourtListener, Google Scholar, and potentially others. A coordinated multi-platform approach addresses all sources simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Professional services add value in several ways for CaseMine cases:

• Full platform audit: Identifying every site currently displaying your case opinion, not just the obvious ones
• Effective request drafting: Framing removal requests with the legal language and documentation most likely to succeed with each platform
• Parallel outreach: Submitting to all platforms simultaneously rather than one at a time
• Google de-indexing management: Handling submission and follow-up for the full set of URLs
• Suppression strategy: For opinions that stay online after other routes, building content that can outrank the CaseMine page in search results
