A neutral, factual record of U.S. court cases naming Donald Trump — his person, his businesses, or his campaign — as a party. Both cases he has filed and cases filed against him, since 2016. The data is the argument; nothing here is characterized or ranked.
Scope: cases where Trump or a Trump entity is named in the case. It does not track the separate universe of challenges to administration actions that are captioned only against agencies or officials and never name him. Coverage is strong for federal courts, partial for state trial courts. Full methodology & limitations →

This is a public-records tracker. Every case listed is a real court docket; the facts shown — court, filing date, status, docket number — come straight from those records via CourtListener (the Free Law Project). The site does not characterize, rate, or rank cases. You sort and filter; the records speak.
Cases filed on or after January 1, 2016 where Donald Trump, a Trump business (e.g. the Trump Organization), or his campaign/PAC is named as a party in the case caption — whether Trump is the one suing or the one being sued.
The large separate body of lawsuits challenging administration actions that are captioned only against agencies or officials (for example, "Doe v. Department of Homeland Security") and never name Trump himself. Those cannot be identified from case names alone, and separating genuine policy challenges from routine government litigation requires human legal review — which is why staffed trackers (Lawfare, Just Security) cover that beat by hand. Including them automatically would bury the record in unrelated cases.
Coverage is strong for federal courts (via the RECAP archive) and partial for state trial courts, which lack a unified public data feed. Some older dockets have no recorded filing date. A case appearing here is not a judgment about its merit.
Direction (suing vs. sued), court, and status are taken directly from the record. Whether a case is personal, business, campaign, or official-capacity is a best-effort classification; where the record is ambiguous it is marked uncertain / in review. Any one-sentence plain-English summary is labeled AI and is a convenience only — the linked court record is authoritative.
