Polish SCOTUS-Dec
Polish SCOTUS-Dec is a long-document legal text classification dataset derived from the publicly available SCOTUS dataset.
The dataset contains Polish translations of U.S. Supreme Court opinions. The task is a binary document classification problem in which the goal is to predict the ideological direction associated with the court decision: liberal or conservative.
SCOTUS-Dec is part of the LongContext benchmark introduced with Polish ModernBERT.

SCOTUS-Dec uses the same court opinions and dataset splits as SCOTUS-Dom.
The dataset contains particularly long documents: 74.5% of test examples exceed 4,096 tokens when tokenized with the Polish ModernBERT Base tokenizer.
Dataset construction
The original English court opinions were translated into Polish using GLM-4.6. The original SCOTUS train, validation, and test splits and task labels were retained.
