Five more ways to track litigation against the Trump Administration

These other websites are comprehensively tracking lawsuits challenging Trump Administration actions.

Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against the Trump Administration since January 20, on top of dozens of lawsuits filed by the Administration. These cases range widely in subject matter and scope, and it’s hard to keep up with where things are with administrative actions being challenged. Not every update on a given court case makes it into a headline. Here, we’ve compiled a few resources that may help you by compiling information and updates in central locations.

Just Security is a law and policy journal based at the Riess Center on Law and Security at New York University School of Law. They normally publish analysis and informational resources about national security and democracy. They also have a Trump Admin Litigation Tracker where they are currently tracking 250 cases filed against the Trump Administration. The information is laid out in table format, and you can search by keyword or filter by topic, executive action, case name, or date filed.

Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse is a University of Michigan Law website that focuses on large-scale civil rights class action lawsuits and cases seeking policy or operational change. They have two collections pertaining to the current administration. The first includes cases filed against the Trump administration on civil rights issues (397 cases currently), and the second includes litigation and Department of Justice investigations brought by or including the Trump Administration (50 cases currently). Each collection is divided by topic and each case includes a summary, a list of related cases, information on the parties involved and their attorneys, as well as primary documents related to the case.

Big Cases Bot provides links for all of the biggest federal cases on their Bluesky, Mastodon, and Twitter social media accounts. The bot is maintained by Free Law Project, the nonprofit behind Court Listener. Because the pace of the courts can vary, these social media reminders can serve as a good way to keep track of the most impactful cases. Besides running Court Listener, Free Law Project advocates for a more open and accountable judicial system — just like we do for Congress.

Court Watch is a news site that reports on overlooked court records and provides access to court documents. Their Lawsuits Related to Trump Admin Actions list links to a docket on Court Listener for each case which includes a timeline of updates and the documents associated. They pay fees to Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) so you don’t have to (federal courts unfortunately charge for access to public records). If there is a specific case you’re looking for, you can find it through Court Watch.

The New York Times has a Trump Administration Lawsuits Tracker for court challenges to Trump’s agenda. They have the cases sorted into 10 topics: firings, budget freezes, birthright citizenship, DOGE, immigration, trans rights, climate and environmental policy, federal access restrictions, tariffs, and other suits. You can jump to the topic of interest, where you’ll find a summary of the impacts of a given action taken by the Trump Administration, and a list of court cases pertaining to those actions and links to each case’s docket for complete updates. Cases that the Times has covered with an article include a summary as well as a link to that article for a more complete description or analysis.
