FAQ

Leagle opt-out FAQ

Will Leagle delete my court case?

Usually not without a court order. Legal research sites generally keep public court records but will often block them from search engines or redact names when a court has sealed or expunged the case.

What is the difference between de-indexing and removal?

De-indexing keeps the page on Leagle but tells search engines not to show it, so it stops appearing when people Google your name. Removal deletes or redacts the page itself.

How long until the case disappears from Google?

After a page is blocked or changed, search engines can take weeks or longer to drop it. You can speed this up with Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool.
