Scrutinize

About Us

Scrutinize uses data and AI to increase transparency and accountability in state courts. We collect court records, interpret them, and publish accessible data. Our work helps decision-makers, voters, journalists, and advocates to evaluate judges, their decisions, and impacts.

Launched in 2023, our work has already influenced judicial reappointments and shaped debates on court reform across New York. We got our seed funding from Emergent Ventures, are part of Fast Forward’s 2025 cohort, and received the inaugural Legal AI Innovators Award by Ironclad. 

People who thrive at Scrutinize embrace hard work, rigorous thinking, and clear-eyed honesty. They communicate directly and transparently, welcome feedback, and are comfortable operating in an environment where resources are lean but goals are set high. They are drawn to mission-driven work, thrive in interdisciplinary teams, and care deeply about real-world impact.
