Federal criminal prosecutions — cases captioned United States v. ... in US federal district courts. 68.8% of federal district dockets are criminal, which is what makes this a pack rather than a filter.

No API key.

What this is, and what it is not

Docket metadata: that a case exists, its parties, court, docket number, filing and termination dates, and assigned judge. It contains no filings — no complaints, motions, briefs or orders. Those are RECAP, a separate corpus that is not keyless.

An agent with this data knows a case was brought. It does not know what anyone argued.

Caveats

• Quarterly snapshot. Every response carries snapshot_date.
• date_terminated is 78.3% filled, so a missing date means not recorded, never still open. Responses say which.
• nature_of_suit is sparse — 14.8% corpus-wide, 30.5% in district courts. This can tell you a company is in federal court; it often cannot tell you what for.
• Party search matches a substring of the case caption, so a distinctive party name works better than a full caption.
