About
The network behind the archives.
Court Daemon is an independent network of searchable trial archives built from courtroom recordings, court reporter transcripts, filings, and public court information.
What it is
Each archive organizes a case record around its proceedings, people, evidence, locations, documents, and other reference material. The individual archive sites hold the full record. This site is the front door to the network.
The archives are built for readers who want to find a specific exchange, follow testimony across several days, understand who appeared when, or watch the source video alongside the text.
How it is built
- Assemble the recordArchive inputs differ by case and may include courtroom recordings, court reporter transcripts, filings, and public court information.
- Structure the proceedingsProceedings are organized by trial, day, speaker, and subject so the record can be searched and navigated.
- Review and connectNames, speakers, evidence, locations, and related pages are corrected and cross-linked through multiple review passes.
- Sync the videoWhen courtroom video is available, transcript lines link to the corresponding moment in the recording.
Accuracy
Some archive transcripts come from court reporter records. Others begin with speech recognition from courtroom video and are then reviewed and corrected. The method and limitations are identified on each archive.
These sites are research archives, not official court records. When accuracy matters, readers should verify the text against the linked recording or the official record.
