French Legislative Texts (LEGI) Dataset (06/04/2025)

Dataset Description

The LEGI Dataset contains decisions from the French Courts of Judicial jurisprudence decisions (https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/search/juri). This dataset is sourced from DILA/OPENDATA/LEGI. This extensive collection represents the consolidated versions of French legal texts, offering a complete view of French legislation. It is designed to assist in the analysis and extraction of legal information.

Remarks:

  • This dataset only contains articles whose legal status (etat) is 'VIGUEUR'
  • For an article with no scheduled date for its repeal or replacement, date_fin is set to '2999-01-01'.
  • With the Common Internal Identifier (cid), the entire text of the code is accessible at the following URL: https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/texte_lc/[cid]
  • With the Internal Identifier (id), the full text of the article is accessible at the following URL: https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/[id]

Source Data

The data originates from the official DILA (Direction de l'Information Légale et Administrative) platform through their open data initiative. The original data can be accessed at: LEGI DILA Open Data Platform.
