Data exports

Every entry in the trackers is available as CSV and JSON. New entries surface in RSS feeds the day they are added. The data is structured for citation, empirical research, and downstream tools. Stanford CIS-style analyses, CLE materials, and bar-journal articles can pair the structured aggregator with each entry's primary source the way Stanford CIS pairs Damien Charlotin's hallucination database with the underlying court orders.

For a human-readable chronological view of the same underlying data, see the AI legal regulation timeline.

Schema versioning

All JSON payloads carry a schema_version integer at the top level and a last_modified ISO date. CSV exports use the same column names as the JSON keys. The current schema version is 1.

Additive changes (new columns, new fields) do not bump the version. Consumers should ignore unknown columns or fields gracefully.

Breaking changes (renamed or removed columns, type changes, semantic changes to existing fields) bump the major version. Breaking changes are announced in the RSS feeds with a dedicated entry, and prior schema versions remain reachable at versioned paths (e.g., /data/v1/cases.json) for at least 90 days after the new version ships.

Field semantics

The fields below are the load-bearing ones across exports. Several collection-specific fields exist; consult the JSON output for the full list.

slug

Stable identifier; matches the URL path component for the entry's detail page.

url

Canonical URL of the entry's detail page on this site.

source_urls

All URLs cited as evidence for the entry. Mixed tier: primary (court websites, PACER, bar association pages, statute text), secondary (legal news, ABA), and aggregator (CourtListener, Justia, Damien Charlotin database) URLs all appear here when included in the entry's frontmatter. Use primary_source_urls for strict primary-only citation. CSV exports join with "; ".

primary_source_urls

Filtered subset of source_urls containing only primary-tier URLs (court websites, PACER, bar association pages, statute text, .gov domains). Use this when strict primary-only citation is required. May be empty for entries currently sourced only from aggregators; the citation field remains the authoritative Bluebook reference in that case. CSV exports join with "; ".

last_verified

ISO date the entry was most recently re-checked against its primary source.

citation (cases, states)

Bluebook-style citation to the primary authority. Use this when citing the entry in academic or legal writing alongside the url.

Citation guidance

Cite the primary authority as the source. Cite this site as the structured aggregator that surfaced it. Mirrors how Stanford CIS, RAILS, and law-school clinics cite Damien Charlotin's hallucination database alongside the underlying court orders.

Recommended citation format for a tracker entry:

Legal AI Governance, "Mata v. Avianca, Inc." (last verified May 1, 2026), https://legalaigovernance.com/tracker/cases/mata-v-avianca/

Update cadence

• State bar opinions: as new opinions issue, plus continuous re-verification.
• Court orders: as new standing orders are filed, plus continuous re-verification.
• Cases: as new sanctions decisions issue, plus continuous re-verification.

The last_verified field is the authoritative freshness signal. Subscribe to the RSS feeds for low-friction notification when new entries are added.
