French court rulings dataset and tool released

Researchers have developed a dataset and tool to analyze the grammar of French Civil Cassation rulings. The dataset comprises over 121,000 ground-reason pairs from more than 86,000 rulings issued between 2016 and 2025 by the five civil chambers of the French Court of Cassation. This analysis aims to understand how the court rules on appeals, identifying which grounds are successful, the legal texts cited, and their evolution over time. The project also releases the dataset, associated code, and an interactive consultation tool. AI
