    8.5M full-text U.S. court opinions split into 38 decade-by-decade CSV files, from the 1650s onward. Case names, filing dates, citations, and cleaned opinion text in every record.

    Overview

    This dataset contains 8,507,968 full-text U.S. court opinion records organized into 38 decade-based CSV files, from the 1650s to 26Q1. Each file contains records whose filing date falls within that decade, making it easy to work with a specific era, sample across time periods, or process the corpus incrementally — load the 1990s for a focused study, or stream all 38 files for the complete 86-billion-character collection. Opinion texts average roughly 10,000 characters (about 1,600 words) per record.

    Each record includes:

    case_name — the name of the case

    cleaned_text — full narrative opinion text, cleaned and whitespace-normalized

    citations — the case's citations as reported

    date_filed — filing date

    citations_norm — normalized citation string for matching and deduplication

    Files are UTF-8, RFC-4180 CSVs with header rows (e.g. cases_1990s_no_empty_cases.csv), exported directly from PostgreSQL for reliable import into any database or data pipeline. Every record contains non-empty opinion text — empty and whitespace-only entries are excluded. Text fields preserve original paragraph structure, and the identical schema across all 38 files means one import routine handles the entire collection.

    Highlights

    • 8.5 million full-text U.S. court opinion records split into 38 decade files spanning the 1650s to 26Q1 — study a single era or process the full 86-billion-character corpus file by file.
    • Identical schema in every file: case name, filing date, citations, normalized citation string, and complete cleaned opinion text. Empty and whitespace-only records excluded.
    • UTF-8, RFC-4180 CSVs with header rows, exported directly from PostgreSQL — decade-sized files are far easier to load, sample, and parallelize than a single 81 GB download.
