Our core rule
Public Court Records
Case identifiers, parties, Courts, advocates, Acts, case status, hearing information, orders, Police Station references and related case attributes may be derived from publicly available court records.
Profile Information
Lawyers or authorized profile owners may provide or confirm profile information such as professional details and office-location information.
Verification
Verification indicators are based on a separate TrustJury verification process and should not be confused with public court-record associations.
Reviews
Reviews and ratings are a separate reputation layer submitted by users and administered under TrustJury review and dispute processes.
1. Public court-record data
TrustJury is built around public legal information. Depending on what is available in a record, case data may include items such as:
- CNR and case identifiers;
- case type and registration information;
- case status, stage, hearing and disposal information;
- petitioners, respondents and advocates appearing for parties;
- Courts and judges where shown in the record;
- Acts and Sections;
- FIR / Police Station references where present;
- orders, interim orders and final orders;
- public case-history or hearing-history information.
Not every case contains every field, and the availability or format of information can vary between records and jurisdictions.
2. CNR and record identity
For Indian case records where TrustJury stores a CNR, the CNR is treated as the primary unique case identity within the TrustJury case database.
TrustJury may normalize formatting and whitespace to improve search and linking, while preserving the underlying public-record context.
3. Parties and advocates
Party names and advocate associations may be taken from public case records. Variations in capitalization, spacing or naming may be normalized so records can be searched and connected more consistently.
A public-record association means the person or lawyer was observed in the relevant record. It does not, by itself, establish specialization, endorsement, office location or the outcome achieved.
4. Court and Police Station geography
TrustJury distinguishes between a physical location and geography inferred from case activity.
- Court locality and exact Court coordinates may be maintained using separately sourced location information.
- Police Station physical location fields may be manually or officially sourced where available.
- If a Police Station does not yet have verified physical-location information, TrustJury may show linked Court geography only as case activity, not as the Police Station's address.
5. Lawyer office location vs case activity
A lawyer's verified office location is kept separate from locations derived from public case activity.
Where TrustJury says a lawyer has “case activity in” a locality, that describes observed public-record activity. It should not be read as a statement that the lawyer maintains an office there.
A “Lawyer in [location]” office claim should be supported by separately maintained office-location information rather than by Court activity alone.
6. Verification data
TrustJury verification is a platform layer separate from public records. A verification indicator means the relevant TrustJury verification requirements have been satisfied at the time the indicator is shown.
Verification does not convert public case activity into a claim of specialization, guarantee legal outcomes or constitute endorsement by a Court, Police Station or government authority.
7. Reviews and reputation information
Reviews and ratings are separate from both public court records and verification. They may reflect user-submitted experiences or opinions and can be subject to moderation, disputes and platform review.
8. Search and ranking
TrustJury search may use query relevance, linked public-record activity, data completeness and other objective or disclosed platform signals.
TrustJury does not sell higher positions in objective lawyer, case, Court or Police Station search results.
9. Updates and freshness
TrustJury should not be assumed to be synchronized with Court or government systems in real time. Public records can change after the version available to TrustJury was obtained or processed.
TrustJury may refresh, re-import or update records when updated source information becomes available. Hearing dates, case status, orders and other time-sensitive fields should be independently verified where they are important to a legal decision or deadline.
10. Corrections and source conflicts
If information displayed by TrustJury conflicts with a reliable source or appears associated with the wrong person, case, Court or Police Station, users can submit a correction request.
Depending on the issue, TrustJury may correct platform-generated information, update normalized information, annotate a dispute, investigate the source record or wait for an authoritative source to change.
11. What TrustJury does not claim
- TrustJury is not an official Court or government website.
- Public case activity is not a guarantee of expertise or success.
- Case-derived geography is not automatically an office address.
- Verification is not professional endorsement.
- Reviews are not public court-record evidence.
- TrustJury does not guarantee real-time record synchronization.
