About the Data
Escrow Cases is a source-linked index of reviewed court records involving California escrow trust accounts, disbursements, wire instructions, and related payment disputes. 129 court records are published as a research preview — manually reviewed for file-review patterns. We preserve procedural posture, show limitations on every result, and link to primary sources. DFPI/DRE and other agency actions live on The Record.
Coverage & queue
Public search includes 129 promoted records from 129 source rows. The next 100 candidate review queue is captured separately; 36 are already represented and 64 remain pending source review.
Candidate rows are not public cards, not search results, and not profile pages until the source page confirms a material escrow/file-record issue and the row passes the promotion gate.
Count reconciliation
The public count is computed from promoted cards and the public search index. Candidate, support, regulatory, and raw-source counts are separate lanes; they do not become public records until they pass the review gate.
- Public cards
- 129 reviewed court records; 129 appear in public search
- Indexing gate
- 0 public-indexable today; 129 noindex while the review and counsel gate remains closed
- Candidates
- 226 candidate records pending source review or promotion decision
- Support rows
- 307 support or doctrine rows kept out of public search until promoted
- Regulatory lane
- 476 regulatory/enforcement rows excluded from EscrowCases.org and routed to The Record
- Private source lane
- 41,424 documented source objects in the private corpus; raw files, OCR, and notes are not public
The older universe export lists 89 reviewed/current rows. The promoted public-card count is higher because this site build includes additional reviewed rows that have passed the public-card gate.
What this is
A reviewed, posture-first search engine over public record cards — not a raw document archive or company-risk database.
What it is not
Not legal advice, not rankings or scores, not public OCR search, not a complete docket mirror.
How search works
Search runs over manually promoted metadata only: caption, court, topics, file-record question, and short neutral summary. Snippets never include raw exhibit text.
How data is organized
Raw sources stay in a private corpus (~14 GiB). Only rows that pass review appear as public record cards.
- Published
- 129 reviewed court records; agency actions are not listed on this site
- Screening
- 226 candidate rows across the current universe; not public until promoted
- Never public
- Raw PDFs, OCR, entity graphs, unreviewed matches, operator notes
Data sources
- Court records
- Federal dockets, filings, orders, and opinions are labeled by record type. California trial-court records come from county access, law-library research, or other public sources.
- Regulatory records
- Agency enforcement rows are excluded from EscrowCases.org. DFPI/DRE and similar regulatory analysis belongs on The Record.
- Private corpus
- Raw source files, OCR, parsed text, and review notes stay private unless a public-card gate explicitly allows link-out metadata.
- Manual review
- Posture, topics, limitations, source verification
Escrow Cases is not affiliated with or endorsed by any court, regulator, source platform, or research vendor.
Review process
Each public card requires procedural posture, result limit, source URL, and reviewed date. Corrections are applied against cited sources.
Trust boundary
