IAA / Krippendorff α: 0.89
QA pass rate: 99.10%

Legal entity and citation annotations are double-reviewed by qualified legal annotators, achieving α = 0.89 on the entity scheme and a 99.1% QA pass rate. Spans include parties, courts, statutes cited, ratio, and held.

Provenance & consent

Source judgments are drawn from publicly published court records; statutory text from official gazette publications. All processing, hosting, and annotation occur within India. Document-level provenance (court, bench, date, citation) is preserved on every record.

Methodology

Documents are OCR-corrected, de-duplicated, and segmented, then passed through a clause-level annotation pipeline staffed by law graduates. We extract structured headnotes, normalise citations to a canonical scheme, and tag legal entities, with weekly calibration against a senior reviewer.
