Juri-See’s mission is to use data at scale and investigative journalism as a means to hold those in power to account, through transparency and accountability.
Mission
We bring independent investigative reporting of the third branch of government, at a time when transparency and accountability are in great need. The U.S. is seeing court decisions that some view as politicized or as diverging from the intended purpose of the law created by elected officials. We have chosen to focus on civil state courts because they are addressing some of the most important issues of our time, many of which are directly relevant to the lives of citizens. These include issues such as voter rights, LGBTQ+ rights, labor, discrimination, housing, reproductive rights, parenting, and gun control. JuriSee champions a fair and open press and supports the need for local news to report freely on these important matters.
Such press is needed to ensure trust in decisions made by the judiciary and to provide citizens with the information they need to make informed decisions about those elected or appointed to judicial roles of great power.
Approach
It is time to bring real transparency to the judiciary branch of our government. To enable such transparency, Juri See is building a network of individuals and the technical infrastructure needed to collect court data-at-scale and conduct resource intensive investigations, that includes cross-tabulation with OSINT (open source intelligence). Our data and reporting is used to expose and report on abuses and any found corruption in civil courts (starting with NY).
We maintain full editorial control over the content we choose to publish, and we do not allow financial considerations – including support from individuals, businesses, foundations, or other sources – to influence our work.
