Court Watchers are volunteers trained to observe the Courts and Judges in their process and role within the Justice System. They come from all walks of life and are able to draw upon their lived experiences. This platform standardizes their reviewing and reporting process and provides actionable analytics for the proper administration of the courts.

United States Freedom of Information Act
5 U.S.C. § 552
Since 1967, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has provided the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. It is often described as the law that keeps citizens in the know about their government. Federal agencies are required to disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless it falls under one of nine exemptions which protect interests such as personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement.

We the People
We the People have a Right to Know according to the Supreme Court of the United States [SCOTUS], past Presidents (of both major political parties), Congress, and the United States Department of Justice. As an expression of that Right to Know, we have coordinated valuable information from a number of resources into a single, public-facing, searchable database.
