How this plays out for judges

Judges face the bench-target dynamic. A controversial ruling drops, the judge's name is in the opinion, and within hours the home address shows up on a forum or on social media. The address came from a broker page. The broker page came from a property record or a voter roll.

Federal judges enroll under the Lieu Act — the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act, signed in 2022. Enrollment goes through the Administrative Office of the US Courts; AOUSC files batched removal demands across major brokers on your behalf. State court judges have varied protections — IL has a Judicial Privacy Act, NJ has Daniel's Law (a statute that lets covered judges, prosecutors, and officers sue brokers that fail to remove their home address), most states don't have an equivalent.

What's at stake

Your home address tied to your name on the same broker pages a litigant can search. Every prior address going back to law school. Your spouse, your kids, sometimes your law clerks listed alongside you as known household members.

The 2020 attack on Judge Esther Salas's family — which killed her son Daniel and led directly to Daniel's Law in NJ — followed exactly this pattern. The attacker found her address through a private investigator who pulled it from public sources.

What to do right now

Run a free scan to see what's published. Follow the doxxing-in-progress playbook for the hour-by-hour steps. If you're a federal judge, enroll in the Lieu Act program through AOUSC. If you're a state judge in NJ, file Daniel's Law demands. For state judges elsewhere, file your state's public-records confidentiality election with every agency holding your records.

For California judges, file Penal Code §6254.21 with each agency. For Texas judges, Gov. Code §552.1175 covers you — file the election.

How we handle it

We file opt-outs across 200+ broker sites and re-check every two weeks. For federal judges, we work alongside the AOUSC program — we cover the smaller brokers AOUSC doesn't always reach. For state judges, the broker opt-out path is where most of the actual removal happens.

We sweep the household. Spouse, parents, minor kids linked on the same broker page. For court-wide coverage, reach out.
