Dataset Specification

A2AJ Canadian Case Law

Last updated: 2026-06-21

Maintainer: Access to Algorithmic Justice (A2AJ)

Dataset Summary

The A2AJ Canadian Case Law dataset provides bulk, open-access full-text decisions from Canadian courts and tribunals. Each row corresponds to a single case and contains the English and French versions of the decision where both are publicly available.

Rows also include citation network fields (cases_cited, cases_citing, and citing_cases_count), enabling citation analysis, precedent mapping, and network-based research across the corpus. See Citation Network below for details.

The project builds on an earlier version that was maintained by the Refugee Law Lab (RLL) and is now maintained by A2AJ, a research project co-hosted by York University's Osgoode Hall Law School and Toronto Metropolitan University's Lincoln Alexander School of Law.

The dataset is intended to support empirical legal research, legal-tech prototyping, and language-model pre-training in the public interestβ€”especially work that advances access to justice for marginalised and low-income communities.
