Courthouse News Service

Courthouse News Service is an American news service primarily focusing on civil litigation.[1] Its core audience is lawyers and law firms, who subscribe to the service;[1][2][3] other subscribers include nonprofits, government agencies, corporations, other media outlets, and academic institutions.[3] Courthouse News has reporters across the United States, covering both state and federal court proceedings, in trial courts and appellate courts.[1][3] It offers both free and paid services. Unlike CourtExpress and CourtLink, it does not provide comprehensive docket information; rather, Courthouse News alerts readers to new filings and rulings.[4] The news agency is based in Pasadena, California.[1] As of 2020, the service had more than 2,200 subscribers.[3] It is a competitor to Thomson Reuters, LexisNexis, and Bloomberg.[3]

Courthouse News was founded in 1990.[3] During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the group received between US$2 million and $5 million in federally backed small business loans from City National Bank as part of the Paycheck Protection Program. The organization stated that the money would help it retain 256 employees.[5][6]
