How to Remove Court Records from CaseMine (2026 Guide)
CaseMine is an AI-powered legal research platform that indexes court opinions from US courts and international jurisdictions. As a newer entrant to the legal data space, its removal policies are still evolving - which means knowing how to approach a privacy request effectively is especially important. Here is what you need to know in 2026.
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.

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.
CaseMine is a newer platform compared to Justia or CourtListener. Its privacy and removal policies are still developing, which means outcomes for removal requests may vary. Clear, well-documented requests and a willingness to escalate to Google de-indexing are essential elements of your strategy.
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.
If your case has any international element - a foreign party, cross-border transaction, or multinational corporation - there is a higher chance CaseMine has indexed it given the platform's international coverage. International cases on CaseMine can be harder to address through US-only legal processes.
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. However, formal requests citing legal grounds 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 matters. An initial denial or non-response should be followed up, and escalation to Google de-indexing should proceed in parallel if direct removal is not achieved promptly.
If you are an EU resident or your case involved EU-connected parties, CaseMine's international scope means GDPR's right to erasure may apply. GDPR-based requests carry significant legal weight with platforms that have any EU operations or data subjects.
Step-by-Step: How to Submit a Removal Request to CaseMine
Most people in your position reach out right here.
You've already done the hard part - finding out what's out there. We handle the rest: every platform removal, Google de-indexing, and background check site. No upfront cost. Completely confidential.
-
1Find 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.
-
2Identify 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.
-
3Gather 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.
-
4Submit 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.
-
5Invoke 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.
-
6Follow 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 CaseMine Refuses - Google De-Indexing
If CaseMine does not comply with your removal request, Google de-indexing is your most practical alternative. The CaseMine page may continue to exist, but removing it from Google's search index eliminates 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.
Both CaseMine privacy requests and Google de-indexing requests can be resubmitted if initially denied. New documentation, a more detailed explanation of harm, or a different framing of your legal basis can shift the outcome. Do not treat an initial denial as final.
After Expungement or Sealing - Does CaseMine Update?
No. CaseMine does not automatically update when a US court grants expungement or sealing. The opinion was indexed when it was publicly available, and CaseMine has no automated process to monitor subsequent changes to the legal status of indexed cases.
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 CaseMine does not remove
- Address other platforms simultaneously - CaseMine is rarely the only site displaying a published opinion
If your case appears on CaseMine because of its international coverage - for example, a cross-border matter - your US expungement may not directly affect the international version of the listing. In these cases, the practical path is Google de-indexing of the specific CaseMine URLs rather than relying on the expungement order alone.
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 cannot be removed, building content that outranks the CaseMine page in search results
We help identify whether removal may be possible for your CaseMine listing and all related records. The review is free and there is no upfront cost.
