# Dataset Card for openlegaldata.io bulk case data

## Dataset Description

This is a labeled version of my already edited data from [openlegaldata.io](https://de.openlegaldata.io/).

#### The Entire Dataset Is In German

- **Github Repository:** [uniArchive-legalis]](https://github.com/LennardZuendorf/uniArchive-legalis)
- **Processed Data:** [openlegaldata-processed](https://huggingface.co/datasets/LennardZuendorf/openlegaldata-processed)
- **Original Bulk Data:** [Bulk Data](https://static.openlegaldata.io/dumps/de/)

## Edit Summary

- This Data is based on already processed data from openlegaldata. Repositories for both can be found on Huggingface (links above).

### Data Fields

| id | court | file_number | date | type | content | tenor | reasoning | facts | 
| - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |
| numeric id | name of the court that made the decision | file number of the case ("Aktenzeichen") | decision date | type of the case decision | entire content (text) of the case decision | An abstract, legal summary of the cases decision | the entire rest of the decision, explaining in detail why the decision has been made | the facts and details of a case |

Additionally, I have added 2 field that label the data

#### label fields

- The labels are created using ChatGPT to extract/summarize the tenor (the summary of the decision) down to a winner. **This might lead to errors**. While I have checked the data occasionally, I have not check every single decision of the 2800 cases. But for my project, which was a proof of concept for University this is more than enough.
- see Github for the used Jupyter Notebook

| winner | label |
| - | - |
| Winner in text form - plaintiff("Kläger*in") or defendent ("Verklagte*r") | binary label: 1 if plaintiff won, 0 if defendent won |
