ECtHR Ukraine Verdict-Free Dataset

2,951 verdict-free case-article pairs from the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) involving Ukraine as respondent state. Each record contains the factual background, procedural history, parties' arguments, and cited legal standards -- with the Court's legal reasoning, findings, conclusions, and operative provisions surgically removed.

Dataset Description

This dataset is designed for evaluating LLM reliability in legal judgment prediction. By removing the Court's verdict from each case, models must predict violation outcomes based solely on pre-decisional material -- the same information available to parties before judgment.

Key Statistics

Verdict Removal Pipeline

Three-stage pipeline ensures no verdict leakage:

Pattern-based truncation -- removes text after markers introducing the Court's assessment (e.g., "THE COURT'S ASSESSMENT", "MERITS", "FOR THESE REASONS", "OPERATIVE PROVISIONS")
Dual LLM verification -- Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Claude Haiku 4.5 independently verify no verdict leakage remains. Cross-family verification with Amazon Nova Pro and Qwen3 32B
Repair or exclude -- cases with detected leakage are repaired by removing leaking sentences; cases that become too short are excluded
Post-verification regex scan -- iterative pattern-based cleanup of any remaining conclusory language

item_id -- HUDOC item identifier
case_name -- case title

violation_label -- ground truth: "violation" or "no_violation"
verdict_free_text -- full case text with verdict removed
original_length -- character count of original text
verdict_free_length -- character count after verdict removal
retention_percentage -- percentage of text retained
