About CourtScope

CourtScope is an independent, open-source civic-information project.

We help the public examine aggregate sentencing patterns with transparent sources, reproducible methods, uncertainty, and correction history. CourtScope does not judge individual cases, endorse candidates, or replace official records.

What controls

Official source terms, applicable law, dataset-specific notices, and the current published CourtScope methodology control where they are more specific. Contact info@courtscope.org for questions.
