Florida Case Law
This repo is the COMPLETE state law bundle: opinions, the full statutes and the court rules as separate configs, all in one uniform row format (docketx record v1).
Full text of 259,051 Florida appellate opinion documents from the public record, sliced from the Free Law Project / CourtListener bulk export of 2026-06-30.
Court coverage (8 court ids, explicit allowlist — never prefix-matched):
fla, fladistctapp, fladistctapp1, fladistctapp2, fladistctapp3, fladistctapp4, fladistctapp5, fladistctapp6.
Lead opinions; documents under 500 characters excluded.
