Open Legal Data (Germany)

Open Legal Data connects Claude to German case law and legislation from the Open Legal Data Platform (OLDP), a free and open collection of legal data. What's included: - Over 425,000 German court decisions (Urteile und Beschlüsse) from more than 1,100 courts, from federal courts such as the BGH and BVerfG down to regional and local courts in all 16 federal states (Bundesländer), from 1970 to today - More than 7,000 laws and regulations (Gesetze und Verordnungen) with about 114,000 sections (Paragraphen), such as BGB, StGB, ZPO and GG - A citation graph with over 18 million references between decisions and laws What Claude can do with it: - Search case law and laws together in full text, or filter decisions by court and date - Read the full text of a decision or a law section, in parts for long documents - Check whether a citation exists: file number (Aktenzeichen), ECLI or a law reference such as "§ 823 BGB" - Follow citations: what a decision cites, which decisions cite it, and which decisions interpret a given section of a law - Find similar decisions and get statistics by court and year You can read without an account. A free OLDP account gives you higher rate limits and lets you send feedback (bug reports, data problems, feature requests) to the OLDP team from the conversation. Typical uses: legal research (juristische Recherche), checking citations in briefs, papers and theses, and finding the case law (Rechtsprechung) on a statute. All data is public. References are extracted automatically and may be incomplete. Not legal advice (keine Rechtsberatung).
