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.

Sources and access

Sources differ by case and may include courtroom recordings, court-reporter transcripts, filings, and other public court information. Each archive identifies its sources and material limitations.

Readers can search transcripts, follow testimony and proceedings, and, where available, watch courtroom video beside the text.

Accuracy

Transcript sources and accuracy vary by archive. Some use court-reporter records; others include text derived from courtroom video. Each archive identifies its source and material limitations.

Summaries, profiles, timelines, and other guides are separate from the transcript. Some are produced with AI assistance and may contain errors or miss important context; use the transcript and cited records for important questions.

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.
