U.S. Territorial Courts 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.
Source & credit — Free Law Project / CourtListener
Every opinion in this dataset comes from the Free Law Project / CourtListener bulk export of 2026-06-30 (10,798,347 opinions). CourtListener gathered, cleaned, deduplicated and published that record; Free Law Project — the 501(c)(3) non-profit behind it, building free public access to American law since 2010 — pays for it. We sliced and reformatted; they did the hard part. Go to the source: https://www.courtlistener.com.
Free Law Project is a non-profit, and it is worth supporting: https://free.law/donate/. If this data is useful to you, credit Free Law Project and CourtListener too, and consider going straight to the source: CourtListener runs its own API and MCP server.
Full text of 67,210 U.S. Territorial Courts appellate opinion documents from the public record, sliced from the Free Law Project / CourtListener bulk export of 2026-06-30.
Court coverage (15 court ids, explicit allowlist — never prefix-matched):
amsamoa, amsamoatc, cnmisuperct, cnmitrialct, guam, nmariana, prapp, prsupreme, psc, superctguam, test, vimunict, vipolct, virginislands, visuper.
Lead opinions and separate opinions; documents under 1 characters excluded.
Slice sha256 d7c09d940117b264ed96d8e3cdd12ec95260b7b07727405960daf34180f4774c (also in slice.manifest.json).
Composition
Measured on this exact slice: 54,682 documents (81.4%) carry 2,000+
characters of text, 7,529 (11.2%) carry 200-1,999, and 4,999
(7.4%) 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. This dataset redistributes public-domain court text; it adds no annotation and asserts no rights.
