Removing yourself, step by step
0 of 3 done- Read the "Why Is My Information Online?" page on dockets.justia.com to understand that this reflects public PACER/court data, which Justia generally will not remove on request since it mirrors the official court record.
- If the underlying record is sealed, expunged, or you have a legal basis, contact Justia via the privacy policy's contact channel with case number and court order.
- As a parallel step, pursue removal at the source (the court/PACER) since Justia's copy typically will not be deleted while the official record stands.

If they ignore you
