The bulk export holds 10,798,347 opinions. The `extras` slice (added 2026-09-17, 477,273 rows, 0 duplicate ids,
|
| 252 |
+
slice sha256 `9123f2d3cdff3c48…`) carries the 1,612 state courts that no per-jurisdiction plan included (477,294
|
| 253 |
+
opinions; 21 of them have empty text). It includes 67,524 attorney-general opinion reports from 16 states, which are official
|
| 254 |
+
opinions but not court decisions. To exclude them, drop rows whose `court` is `extras-` followed by one of: `texag`, `oklaag`, `arkag`, `laag`, `flaag`, `nyag`, `nebag`, `moag`, `wisag`, `calag`, `kanag`, `coloag`, `mdag`, `washag`, `minnag`, `paag`. (Do not filter on a trailing `ag`: Ohio's Portage County courts and an Onondaga County court also end that way.) 575 opinions are in no
|
| 255 |
+
file, each for a known reason: 533 in planned courts and 21 in `extras` have empty text, and 21 have a cluster or
|
| 256 |

docket missing from the bulk export itself.
