| ### Dataset Summary | |
| A dataset of Legal Documents from German federal court decisions for Named Entity Recognition. The dataset is human-annotated with 19 fine-grained entity classes. The dataset consists of approx. 67,000 sentences and contains 54,000 annotated entities. NER tags use the `BIO` tagging scheme. | |
| For more details see [https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.13016v1.pdf](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.13016v1.pdf). | |

| --> | |
| ### Source Data | |
| Court decisions from 2017 and 2018 were selected for the dataset, published online by the [Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection](http://www.rechtsprechung-im-internet.de). The documents originate from seven federal courts: Federal Labour Court (BAG), Federal Fiscal Court (BFH), Federal Court of Justice (BGH), Federal Patent Court (BPatG), Federal Social Court (BSG), Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) and Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG). | |
