This is an action for damages for personal injury. Plaintiff had a verdict, and from an order denying a new trial defendant appeals. The only question which we will consider is whether or not the verdict is sustained by the evidence.

Minnesota 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.
Full text of 71,487 Minnesota appellate opinion documents from the public record, sliced from the Free Law Project / CourtListener bulk export of 2026-06-30.
Court coverage (2 court ids, explicit allowlist — never prefix-matched):
minn, minnctapp.
Lead opinions and separate opinions; documents under 1 characters excluded.
Slice sha256 f2574403055877aa6a7382d51e6a7e72f8a75cbabcdaba79e0ba2bcd702a888e (also in slice.manifest.json).
Composition
Measured on this exact slice: 62,267 documents (87.1%) carry 2,000+
characters of text, 6,981 (9.8%) carry 200-1,999, and 2,239
(3.1%) 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.
