Stop Legal Harassment

Court access · Free expression · Accountability

Public-interest legal journalism

Documenting legal harassment and the systems that enable it.

Stop Legal Harassment examines court access, retaliatory litigation, free expression, and accountability in the legal system. We publish carefully sourced reporting and practical public resources for Tennessee and beyond.

Independent reporting. Transparent methods. No legal advice.

The work

Clear reporting for people navigating a legal system that can be hard to see.

We explain how court rules and public-records processes work, examine litigation tactics that chill participation, and hold institutions to their own standards. Our coverage is grounded in source documents, fair opportunity to respond, and a commitment to accuracy.
