Courthouse News
U.S. center (legal-news wire; little opinion content)
Courthouse News Service is a privately held, subscriber-funded wire service that covers lawsuits and court rulings, founded and still owned by Bill Girdner. Its coverage is mostly straight, event-driven reporting on filings and rulings, with little opinion content. In the second Trump administration it reports heavily on suits against the government and on court rulings, which often means covering rulings against the administration, but it generally avoids editorial framing.
Owned byPrivately held. Founder Bill Girdner owns it and serves as editor. It is based in Pasadena, California.
