# ⚖️ Indonesian Supreme Court HTML Dataset (ID_Supreme_Court_HTML)

This repository contains a massive collection of official court decisions from the **Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia (Mahkamah Agung RI)**, preserved in their original HTML structure. 🏛️

Unlike plain text datasets, this collection retains the underlying web formatting from the official **Direktori Putusan**, making it an invaluable resource for developers building legal tech tools that require structural context, such as headers, metadata tables, and formal legal hierarchies. 📂

## 💡 The Concept: Structural Legal Preservation

Legal documents are more than just text; their meaning is often tied to their layout—where the **"Menimbang"** (Considering) section ends and the **"MENGADILI"** (Adjudicating) section begins. By providing the data in HTML:
* 🏗️ **Structural Parsing:** Developers can use CSS selectors or XPath to precisely extract Case Numbers, Judge Names, and Verdicts.
* 🔍 **Rich Context:** Preserves the original tables and lists that are often mangled in PDF-to-text conversions.
* 🤖 **RAG Optimization:** Ideal for Chunking strategies that respect the natural boundaries of a court decision.

## 🛠️ Data Acquisition & Integrity

This dataset was compiled using legitimate developer-sanctioned methods:
* **Source:** [Mahkamah Agung RI - Direktori Putusan](https://putusan3.mahkamahagung.go.id/) 🌐
* **Methodology:** Systematic retrieval via official web endpoints, adhering to public access guidelines. No aggressive bot-scraping was used; the process was orchestrated to respect the source's stability. ✅
* **Format:** Raw HTML strings mapped to unique decision IDs.

## 🧪 Use Cases

* **Legal LLM Training:** Fine-tune models to understand the specific formal language and structure of Indonesian jurisprudence. 🎓
* **Information Extraction (NER):** Build pipelines to automatically identify the Prosecutor, Defendant, and specific Articles of the law cited. 🔎
* **Semantic Search:** Powering legal search engines that allow users to filter by specific sections of a decision. 🚀
* **Legal Analytics:** Perform trend analysis on sentencing and judicial reasoning across different regions and years. 📈

## 📂 Dataset Structure

Each entry in the dataset includes:
* **ID:** The unique identifier from the Supreme Court directory.
* **HTML Content:** The full, raw HTML body of the decision. 📑
* **Metadata (where available):** Case type (Perdata, Pidana, etc.), year, and court level.
