New Jersey Case Law
Code & tools: github.com/docketx — legal-scrambler pseudonymises a case file on your own hardware before a frontier model sees it; claude-for-legal is the Claude Code plugin (
docketx-open-law) that loads these datasets and checks citations against them.
Source & credit — Free Law Project / CourtListener
Every opinion in this dataset comes from the Free Law Project / CourtListener bulk export of 2026-06-30 (10,798,347 opinions). CourtListener gathered, cleaned, deduplicated and published that record; Free Law Project — the 501(c)(3) non-profit behind it, building free public access to American law since 2010 — pays for it. We sliced and reformatted; they did the hard part. Go to the source: https://www.courtlistener.com.
Free Law Project is a non-profit, and it is worth supporting: https://free.law/donate/. If this data is useful to you, credit Free Law Project and CourtListener too, and consider going straight to the source: CourtListener runs its own API and MCP server.
Full text of 142,812 New Jersey appellate opinion documents from the public record. The base slice
is 142,776 documents from the Free Law Project / CourtListener bulk export of 2026-06-30.
data/nj-delta-2026-06-29-to-2026-09-11.jsonl.gz ADDS 36 opinions filed after that snapshot, harvested
directly from CourtListener's live search API and its own object storage — added 2026-09-14.
Court coverage (3 court ids, explicit allowlist — never prefix-matched):
nj, njch, njsuperctappdiv.
Lead opinions and separate opinions; documents under 1 characters excluded.
Slice sha256 391e262ecb702c55fab6215ad9a699e91a99b7a4c7cc2615ecd7365c1d651f03 (also in slice.manifest.json).
Composition
Measured on this exact slice: 92,036 documents (64.5%) carry 2,000+
characters of text, 26,245 (18.4%) carry 200-1,999, and 24,495
(17.2%) are under 200 characters. The short ones are real records, not errors: certiorari
denials, one-line orders, and judgment entries. They are kept deliberately (min_chars = 1)
so this is the complete public record rather than a filtered subset. Filter on len(text) if you want
only substantive opinions.
Format
Rows follow docketx record v1 (one opinion per line): id, doc_type, jurisdiction, title,
text, source, license, retrieved_at, plus citation, court, date, and extra
(CourtListener opinion/cluster ids, opinion type). The same format is used across every
docketx dataset.
Provenance and license
Judicial opinions are edicts of government: uncopyrightable works of the public domain (Banks v. Manchester, 128 U.S. 244 (1888); Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org, 590 U.S. 255 (2020)). This packaging is released under CC0 1.0. Source: CourtListener bulk export (2026-06-30), Free Law Project — https://free.law. This dataset redistributes public-domain court text; it adds no annotation and asserts no rights.
