Caselaw Access Project

Randomly-selected subset

Date (ISO 8601): 2022-04-15

This dataset is a partial redistribution of the case_text_open data available from the Caselaw Access Project.

Specifically, this dataset contains a subset of the files from the original Caselaw Access Project dataset. These files were randomly drawn from the original data until the subset reached a sum ~144 million characters, not including newlines or spaces. This was done in order to approximately match the character length of a different dataset.

Permission to redistribute is implicitly included on Caselaw Access Project's "About" page, under Usage & access:

Thus far, Illinois, Arkansas, New Mexico, and North Carolina have made this important and positive shift and, as a result, all historical cases from these jurisdictions are freely available to the public without restriction.

This data was downloaded from the Caselaw Access Project in April 2021.
