New page

Open judicial decisions from the Cour de cassation API. Covers 4 court levels — Cour de cassation, cours d'appel, tribunaux judiciaires, tribunaux de commerce. Richest metadata among FR case law sources (summaries, themes, fine-grained grades). Overlaps with [[Sources/FR/Cass|cass]] for Cour de cassation decisions — judilibre has richer metadata, cass has deeper historical coverage.
