Terms of Use

Agreement

By using Gavel Record at gavelrecord.com(the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

Nature of the service

The Site provides informational tools and summaries based on public federal court records and open data, including information made available through services such as CourtListener and other public sources. Metrics (for example, win rates or motion outcomes) are derived from available docket and disposition data and may be incomplete, delayed, or misclassified. They are not a substitute for independent legal research or professional advice.

No legal advice; no endorsement

Nothing on the Site is legal advice. Listing or profiling an attorney or firm does not constitute an endorsement, referral, or guarantee of results. The Site is not a law firm and does not form an attorney-client relationship with you.

Accuracy and official sources

Public records can contain errors. Courts and filers are the authoritative sources for case information. You should verify critical facts with official systems before relying on them for decisions.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site in violation of law or third-party rights
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or APIs
• Overload or disrupt the Site (including aggressive automated scraping)
