If your name or personal information appears on Law360.com, you may be concerned about its visibility in Google search results. Law360, a subsidiary of LexisNexis, is a widely used platform that publishes legal news, case updates, and court records.
Unlike many some other court record databases and aggregator sites, Law360 does provide a way to prevent its content from appearing in search results, making it a more manageable platform to deal with than others like PlainSite or Leagle.
Here’s what you need to know about removing or suppressing your information from Law360.
What Is Law360 and Why Is My Information There?
Law360 is a legal news service that reports on high-profile court cases and legal developments. It compiles case records from PACER and LexisNexis databases, as well as legal commentary and analysis submitted by attorneys and journalists.
Your name may appear on Law360 if you were:
- A party to a court case.
- A lawyer or law firm listed in case filings.
- Mentioned in legal commentary or news articles.
While Law360 does not manually alter or remove case records, they do allow de-indexing, meaning the content will no longer appear in Google search results if requested.
Can You Remove Your Name from Law360?
Yes, you can request Law360 to prevent your name or case from appearing in search engine results.
Law360 does not delete content, but they will apply a “noindex” tag to pages upon request. This means:
- The article or case remains on Law360.com but will no longer appear in Google searches.
- People can still find it if they have a Law360 subscription or search directly on Law360.com.

Can you remove my name or firm from a case record?
Law360 Cases records reflect data in PACER, and cannot be manually altered. Once a case has been updated in PACER, those changes will be reflected in Law360 Cases the next time significant filing activity occurs in the case. Significant filing activity includes complaints, answers, motions, orders, and trial notes.
We are unable to remove terminated parties and counsel from case records. Law360 Cases is a historical record of who has been involved in a case, and because terminated names remain on the docket sheet in PACER, Law360 Cases records continue to include them, as well.
