NY Justice Ledger — the public record of New York's justice system

New York judges, attorneys and court officers

A structured public record for every New York judge, attorney and publicly listed court officer. Official registration and discipline data is presented separately from court-participant feedback, which is collected under verification levels and published with the rating formula in the open. Public feedback never becomes a finding of misconduct.

Independent public-information platform. Not affiliated with the New York State Unified Court System.

Ratings and reviews reflect individual user experiences and are not findings of judicial misconduct, attorney misconduct, illegality, bias, corruption, or professional discipline. Official findings are displayed separately and linked to their authoritative source.

How ratings work

No public score is shown below 5 verified reviews.

  • Only published reviews from verified reviewers count toward the score.
  • Each review is weighted by verification: verified person ×0.5, verified case participant ×1, document-supported ×1.5, official-record-confirmed ×2. Unverified (level 0) reviews are weighted ×0 and never move the score.
  • Each category is the weighted mean of 1–5 answers, rescaled to 0–100 as (mean − 1) ÷ 4 × 100.
  • The overall score is the unweighted mean of the category scores that received at least one answer.
  • Reviews flagged by the review-integrity engine as possible coordinated activity are excluded from the score and reported separately.
  • No overall score is published below 5 verified reviews.
  • Confidence reflects verified review count, number of distinct cases, recency and verification strength — never the sentiment of the reviews.

Safeguards

What this directory will not do

  • Publish an allegation of serious wrongdoing without supporting documentation.
  • Publish case numbers, children's names, medical detail, sealed material or home addresses.
  • Merge public feedback with official findings into one accusation figure.
  • Delete criticism for being negative — only for privacy, threats, harassment or spam.
  • Present a rating as an official measure of judicial or professional performance.
  • Refuse a judge or attorney the right to respond, or a reviewer the right to appeal.
