Ontario Court of Appeal (ONCA) Corpus 2008-2021
Listed in Borealis
The Court of Appeal of Ontario (ONCA) is the highest court of the Canadian province of Ontario, Canada.
Description
To improve the empirical study of the Court, we web scraped and curated the published decisions of the ONCA rendered between 2008-2021. We used natural language processing (NLP) to extract targeted meta data such as the names of the judges rendering the decision, the outcome of the decision and the legal field of concern in the decision.
An accompanying paper explains the methodology in greater detail and answers a preliminary set of research question. This dataset contains the full text of 12667 decisions of the ONCA between 2008-2021 and its accompanying meta data. It was extracted from the ONCA website in 2022.
