+ ## Data Sources
88
+
89
+ Both sub-corpora built from AWS Open Data (no credentials needed):
90
+ - `s3://indian-supreme-court-judgments/`
91
+ - `s3://indian-high-court-judgments/`
92
+
93
+ ## Usage
94
+
95
+ ```python
96
+ from datasets import load_dataset
97
+
98
+ # Supreme Court cases
99
+ sc = load_dataset("joyboseroy/imljd", "sc")
100
+
101
+ # Karnataka HC quash petitions
102
+ hc = load_dataset("joyboseroy/imljd", "hc_karnataka")
103
+
104
+ # Basic analysis
105
+ import pandas as pd
106
+ df = pd.DataFrame(sc["train"])
107
+ quash = df[df["case_type"] == "quash"]
108
+ print(f"SC quash success rate: {(quash['outcome']=='quashed').mean()*100:.1f}%")
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ ## Knowledge Graph
112
+
113
+ A NetworkX/GEXF knowledge graph is included in the repository:
114
+ - Nodes: Case, Statute, Court, Outcome, Precedent, Year
115
+ - Edges: INVOKES, HEARD_BY, RESULTS_IN, CITES, DECIDED_IN
116
+
117
+ Open `data/kg/imljd_graph.gexf` in Gephi for visualisation.
118
+
119
+ ## Ethical Considerations
120
+
121
+ - Public court judgments only
122
+ - Names present as in original public records
123
+ - Recommended: anonymisation pass before NLP model training
124
+ - Not suitable for "false case detection" — ground truth doesn't exist cleanly
125
+ - Framing: procedural fairness research, not case outcome prediction
