New York State Court Websites Contain Links That Are Dead or Outdated

Broken links are measurable evidence of institutional neglect

They disproportionately affect pro se litigants, low-income defendants, immigrants and non-native English speakers, and small businesses without retained counsel.

Why It Matters

Dead links are a proxy signal for deeper failures in access to justice, procedural fairness, due process notice and administrative competence.

This project crawls state court websites, identifies broken or misleading links, publicly reports and ranks courts, and creates pressure for remediation.

We track and report dead links on state court websites promptly.
