Casemine is an international legal research platform based in India that indexes court records from multiple countries, including the United States. It aggregates case opinions, judgments, and legal filings into a searchable database that covers millions of records. Because Casemine pulls from U.S. federal and state court systems, there is a real chance your name appears on their platform if you have been involved in any kind of court proceeding.
What makes Casemine unique is its global reach. While most people expect to deal with domestic platforms like CourtListener or Justia, they are often surprised to find their U.S. court records appearing on an internationally-operated site. And because Casemine has decent domain authority, those pages can rank in Google search results alongside the domestic platforms.
How Your U.S. Court Record Ends Up on Casemine
Casemine uses automated scraping and data partnerships to collect legal records from court systems around the world. For U.S. records, they pull from publicly available sources including federal court databases, state court systems, and other aggregators. Once a record is in their system, it gets published as a standalone page that Google indexes. The result is another search result with your name attached to a court case.
How to Request Removal from Casemine
Step one: go to Casemine.com and search for your name. Identify every page that references you and note the full URLs.
Step two: submit your removal request through Casemine's contact form, or email directly to [email protected] (you can also try [email protected]). Use the subject line "Removal Request" so it gets routed correctly.
Step three: provide the details they need to act on your request. Include the specific Casemine URL of the case page, your full name, your relationship to the case, and a valid reason for removal. Privacy concerns, sealed or expunged status, and reputational harm are all valid grounds. If the case was sealed or expunged, attach your court documentation -- Casemine typically removes sealed or expunged records and may de-index others upon request.
Step four: wait for their response. Casemine often processes removal requests within seven business days, which is faster than many other international platforms. If you do not hear back within that window, send a polite follow-up referencing your original request.
Step five: once Casemine confirms the removal, check your Google search results. If the Casemine link still appears in Google after the page has been taken down, use the Google Outdated Content Tool to request that it be removed from search results. This usually clears within a few days.
Challenges with International Platforms
The main challenge with Casemine is jurisdiction. U.S. privacy laws and state-level expungement orders may not carry the same weight with a company based in another country. That said, we have had success with Casemine removal requests by being clear, providing documentation, and following up consistently. If your initial request does not get a response, escalating through legal counsel or submitting a Google content removal request for the specific URL are both viable paths.
Your Record Is Probably on Other Sites Too
If Casemine has your court record, other platforms definitely do as well. Popular scraping sites include CourtListener, Justia, Trellis, UniCourt, PacerMonitor, and DocketBird. Removing from one platform while ignoring the rest leaves your record visible through multiple other sources. Our complete court record removal guide covers the full strategy for clearing your record from all of these databases.
