Dataset Card for Free-Law-Project/opinions-metadata
This dataset contains the metadata of case law opinions used for training and evaluating the Free Law Project Semantic Search Project.
Dataset Details
The dataset is curated by Free Law Project by randomly sampling ~1K cases across various courts and jurisdictions from the CourtListener database.
This dataset contains all the metadata associated with each opinion, with opinion_id as the unique identifier. The train split is used for finetuning the embedding semantic search models while the test split is used for evaluating the performance of various embedding semantic search models.
Uses
This rich dataset can be used for pretraining and finetuning various legal tasks, such as classification, semantic search, summarization, etc. Due to wide range of opinion length, this dataset can be particularly valuable for long context use cases.
Refer to the CourtLisener Case Law API Doc for detailed information on the features.
Our data is vast and this is only a fraction of the Case Law data we have.
