Per-jurisdiction matrix
Measured 2026-10-09, sorted by statute volume. A dash means we do not serve that corpus for that jurisdiction. The dashes (Guam, the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands have no constitution row of their own) are explained in The territories. Markers [1], [2] and [3] are no longer gaps and are kept because the build behind each is worth reading. Marker [4] was retired when Missouri’s court rules were added, and the other numbers are unchanged so that existing links keep working. Marker [5] is not a gap but a sourcing caveat, in Massachusetts regulations are an unofficial copy. Marker [6] is also a sourcing caveat, in Oklahoma regulations come from two sources.These rows are counted on a slightly different rule from the corpus totals: they exclude
superseded records and do not collapse versioned duplicates, so summing a column lands a little
under the matching
corpusType total. Court rules are the widest case. Take GET /us/statutes/coverage as authoritative for a total
and this table as the per-jurisdiction shape.The territories
Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands joined Puerto Rico and DC in the matrix on 2026-10-07 and 2026-10-08. A dash in a territory row means the corpus does not exist there or is not held, and each case is stated here. Guam (added 2026-10-07). It holds the Guam Code Annotated, the Administrative Rules and Regulations and the court rules, from the Guam government’s own publications. It has no constitution row because its organic law is the federal Organic Act of Guam. Its court rules are 632 documents in 20 sets, held one rule per document except six sets held as one document per set: the Code of Judicial Conduct, the Interim Rules for Recording Grand Jury Proceedings, the Judiciary of Guam Electronic Filing Rules (Interim), the Local Rules of the Superior Court of Guam: Criminal Procedure Rules, the Rule re Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, and the Rules Governing Protection Order Cases. A citation to one rule number inside one of those six sets returns the whole set. The Northern Mariana Islands (added 2026-10-07). They hold the Commonwealth Code, the Administrative Code, the constitution and the court rules. The court rules are 638 documents in 38 sets, and 21 of those sets are held as one document per set, among them the Child Support Guidelines, the Judiciary Fee Schedule, the Juvenile Delinquency Procedure, the Tax Rules of Practice and Procedure and the Supreme Court Style Manual. A citation to one rule number inside a whole set returns the whole set. The other 17 sets, among them the Rules of Civil Procedure, the Rules of Evidence, the Supreme Court Rules and the Criminal Procedure rules, are held one rule per document. American Samoa (added 2026-10-08). It holds the American Samoa Code Annotated (3,576 sections), the Revised Constitution (71 sections), 470 court rules in 11 sets and the Administrative Code (2,490 sections). The Code, the Constitution and the court rules are taken from the American Samoa Bar Association’s site (asbar.org), and the Administrative Code from the Office of the Secretary of American Samoa (osas.as). See Where bar associations supply the text. Cite them asAm. Samoa Code Ann. § 46.4810, Am. Samoa Const. art. IV, § 4, Am. Samoa Admin. Code § 4.2126 and Am. Samoa High Ct. R. 139.
The US Virgin Islands (added 2026-10-08).
It holds 900 court rules in 22 sets, from the Virgin Islands judiciary’s sites (vicourts.org), and 181 sections of the Virgin Islands Rules and Regulations from the Department of Planning and Natural Resources (dpnr.vi.gov).
It also holds the Virgin Islands Code, 12,937 sections, cited as V.I. Code Ann. tit. 14, § 1. The Code is an unofficial copy: each section’s currencyNote carries the publisher’s currency line (code changes through 2025-10-25 at this writing), and its source link is withheld under our licence, so licenseNote says so and sourceUrl is null.
The Virgin Islands has no constitution row because its organic law is the federal Revised Organic Act.
One of the court-rule sets, the Supreme Court Rules of Appellate Procedure as posted amended 11/2/2011, is a superseded edition and its 41 rules carry actStatus=superseded.
Cite them as 12 V.I. R. & Regs. § 803-52, V.I. R. Civ. P. 6-3 and V.I. S. Ct. R. 211.1.10.
The District of Columbia has no constitution of its own, so that cell is a dash for a different reason: its charter is the federal Home Rule Act.
Why one jurisdiction shows no court rules
No jurisdiction does any more. The heading is kept so that existing links keep working. Missouri’s court rules (1,536 sections) and Vermont’s (833 rules) were the last two added. [1] Served from the publisher the Judiciary points to - Vermont. Vermont publishes its amendment stream (promulgation orders, rule changes, proposed amendments) on the judiciary’s own site, and states that the consolidated current text is available through a commercial publisher. We serve that consolidated text: 833 rules across civil, criminal, appellate, evidence, probate, family, environmental and small-claims procedure, the Supreme Court’s administrative orders, public access to court records, judicial conduct, bar admission and professional conduct. Each rule is cited as the Judiciary cites it (Vt. R. Civ. P. 26,
Vt. R. Evid. 803), carries the publisher’s currency line in sourceNote, and has its source link
withheld under our licence. The rule text itself is a government edict and in the public domain.
[2] Built from a 2023 compilation plus the amending orders applied forward - Colorado.
Two Colorado publishers are involved. The legislature’s Office of Legislative Legal Services
publishes the consolidated volume, and the 2023 edition is still the current one: no later edition
has ever been issued, and the office now routes current court-rules access to a paid commercial
product. The judiciary publishes every adopted rule change as a free order on its own site, and
each order carries the amended text.
Colorado is therefore the one jurisdiction here whose court rules are not a single consolidated
fetch. The 2023 volume is the base, and every adopted order issued after it is applied forward on
top, so a rule reflects the amendments made since the compilation stranded.
Two limits worth knowing, because neither is visible from a section count:
- Not every order could be applied automatically. Where an order changes a rule in a way our
pipeline cannot apply with confidence, that rule serves its 2023 text and says so in
sourceNote, naming the order, its adoption date and its effective date. Those rules are labelled rather than silently stale, and the label is the thing to read before relying on one. - Eleven rules are suspended, not in force. The Colorado Rules of ICWA Procedure (Chapter 28.3)
were adopted effective 2024-01-01 and suspended by the Supreme Court on 2025-11-06. They carry
actStatus=suspendedand are served for reference.
corpusType=STATE; the rest is restricted - Oklahoma.
Oklahoma codifies its rules of court into the statute book (Okla. Stat. tit. 12 and tit. 22, and the
Oklahoma Evidence Code). Those are already in the corpus, matched against the publisher’s own
section counts (1,026 civil procedure, 999 criminal procedure, 103 evidence), so re-ingesting them
under STATE_RULES would be duplicate coverage.
That is not the whole state. Oklahoma’s judiciary separately promulgates rule sets that are not
in the statute book, and those are now served under STATE_RULES: the Rules for District Courts,
Rules of the Supreme Court, Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure, Rules of the Court of Criminal
Appeals, Rules of Professional Conduct, Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings, the Code of
Judicial Conduct and the Rules for Admission to the Practice of Law, together with the individual
district courts’ local rules and the Title Examination Standards.
So the 2,116 figure is additional coverage, not a re-ingest of the statute-book rules. Titles 12
and 22 and the Evidence Code stay under corpusType=STATE and are not duplicated here, so a search
for Oklahoma civil procedure should still be scoped to STATE rather than STATE_RULES.
Oklahoma regulations come from two sources, and the currencyNote says which
[6] Mixed provenance - Oklahoma regulations. Measured 2026-09-11.
Oklahoma is the one jurisdiction where the Regulations column is not a single corpus, and the split
is worth knowing before you cite from it.
The Secretary of State publishes the official Oklahoma Administrative Code, but that office does not
permit automated access to either its Code site or its Oklahoma Register archive, and we honor that.
The official host is not a route we use.
What we serve instead, for the 66 titles where it exists, is the copy each promulgating agency
publishes of its own rules. Those copies are self-labeled unofficial, and every section carries
that in its
currencyNote with officialStatus: "unofficial", so a section sourced from an
agency PDF is distinguishable from one sourced from the compilation without having to ask us. The
remaining 138 assigned titles publish no machine-readable copy of their rules, so those sections
continue to come from the 2024 compilation rather than being dropped.
The denominator above is the Oklahoma Register’s own Agency/Title Index, 204 titles assigned as of
6-30-26, re-derived on every refresh rather than hardcoded. 49 assigned titles are served by neither
source. For anything where the controlling text matters, cite the official Code.
Massachusetts regulations are an unofficial copy, and we say so per section
[5] Unofficial source - Massachusetts regulations. The Commonwealth sells the official Code of Massachusetts Regulations in print through the State Bookstore and expressly disclaims the free copy it publishes onmass.gov. Every leaf there
carries an Official Version: field reading, depending on the regulation, “Purchase the official
print version” or “Published by the Massachusetts Register”.
We ingest the free copy because the text of a regulation is a government edict and outside
copyright under Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org, 140 S. Ct. 1498 (2020), and because “unofficial”
here is an accuracy-and-authority disclaimer rather than a licence restriction. Every
Massachusetts regulation we serve carries that disclaimer in its currencyNote, and the
publisher’s own wording is preserved per section, so you can tell which of the two statements
applies to the section you are reading. For anything where the controlling text matters, cite the
print edition.
Two consequences worth knowing:
- No amendment history. Massachusetts publishes its regulatory history only in the
Massachusetts Register, a paid subscription. The free copy carries a
REGULATORY AUTHORITYtrailer (the enabling statute, which we serve asstatutoryAuthority) and no history block at all, soamendmentYearsandlastAmendedYearare empty for this jurisdiction by source limitation rather than by extraction gap. TheDatefield on a leaf is a posting date and we do not promote it into a history. - 21 of the 173 CMR titles are published away from the Trial Court Law Libraries pages and are not part of the official ingest, including 780 CMR (State Building Code), 211 CMR (Division of Insurance) and 220 CMR (Department of Public Utilities). Those titles are still served from the 2024 compilation this jurisdiction was originally built on.
Uniform Commercial Code: served as each state enacted it
There is no separate UCC corpus, because the UCC is not law until a legislature enacts it. Each state’s enacted version is part of that state’s statutes, so search it withcorpusType: "STATE" and state, and cite it in the state’s own numbering.
The model’s § 2-207 is Cal. Com. Code § 2207, 6 Del. C. § 2-207, Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 2.207, Iowa Code § 554.2207 and N.D. Cent. Code § 41-02-14, and those are the forms the citation resolver expects.
We do not serve the model text or the Official Comments.
Both are copyrighted by the American Law Institute and the Uniform Law Commission, and this API serves neither.
Where two states’ enacted text differs, the difference is the law, so read the enacted section rather than the model.
Known differences and gaps, measured 2026-09-24 against Articles 2 and 9:
- Louisiana never enacted Article 2. Its other articles are served under La. R.S. Title 10.
- Puerto Rico did not adopt Article 2, and its commercial transactions law (Ley 208-1995) is not yet in the corpus.
- Not yet served, fix in progress: Alabama, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. In each case our ingest dropped the chapter; the publisher has it.
- Served, but the citation does not resolve yet: Oklahoma (
Okla. Stat. tit. 12A) and Washington (RCW 62A). Search finds the sections; resolve a citation by the form search returns until the fix lands.
Court rules from county and district trial courts
Beside each state’s statewide rules, 38 trial courts publish local rules of their own. They are served undercorpusType=STATE_RULES with the county or district written into the actId, so one county’s Rule 6.5 is never another county’s Rule 6.5.
Counted 2026-10-08: 5,363 rules, of which 4,868 are in force.
The rest are reserved or repealed numbers and say so in actStatus.
Each court’s rules are read from its own site and checked against a count taken from the court’s own contents list or index, so a rule that is missing fails the load.
A court whose rules could only be read as a scan or as a redline with strike-through text is left out rather than served with errors, so the list above is the courts we hold, not a claim to cover a state’s trial courts.
Cite a local rule the way the court does.
These resolve through
/us/statutes/resolve:
Arizona’s county rules were previously filed under one rule-set code, so several counties’ Rule 1 shared an identifier.
They are now keyed by county.
Where bar associations supply the text
Most of this corpus is read from a government site. These sets are read from a bar association’s own site instead, and we say so because it is a different kind of source. The rules are the same rules; the copy is the bar association’s. Where the controlling text matters, check the court’s or the bar’s current publication.
Counted 2026-10-08 as distinct documents by the host of each document’s
sourceUrl.
Florida’s rules of procedure are also read from PDFs hosted on The Florida Bar’s media site (814 documents), and its admissions rules from the Florida Board of Bar Examiners (floridabarexam.org, 186 documents).
Every section carries its sourceUrl, so the host that supplied a given section is always visible on the section itself.
Cite them as Cal. R. Prof. Conduct 1.1, Or. RPC 1.1, Va. R. Prof. Conduct 1.1, D.C. R. Prof. Conduct 1.1, Ga. R. Prof. Conduct 1.1, Idaho R. Prof. Conduct 1.1, Fla. R. Regulating Fla. Bar 4-1.1 and Tex. Disciplinary R. Prof. Conduct 1.01.
What the 2026-10-07 and 2026-10-08 loads changed
Counts are from the matrix above.- Maryland regulations now cover all 36 titles of COMAR, 29,433 sections, where 23 titles were held before. Cite
COMAR 36.04.02.02. - Nebraska statutes gained about 9,400 sections, among them the comma-numbered ones and the Uniform Commercial Code.
- Rhode Island statutes gained sections missing from 1,065 chapters and lost 47 duplicates.
- Texas statutes gained the Revised Civil Statutes (Vernon’s), 266 articles, as
Tex. Vernon's Civil Statutes § 6243n, and the missing Code of Criminal Procedure articles, among themTex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 38.22. - Missouri court rules are served: 1,536 sections, cited
Mo. Sup. Ct. R. 55.03. - Nevada ADR rules are split by instrument.
Nev. R. ADR nnow names only the General Provisions, and the arbitration and mediation rules areNev. Arb. R. nandNev. Med. R. n. - West Virginia carries the Rules of Lawyer Disciplinary Procedure (
W. Va. R. Law. Disc. P. 6.3) and the Rules of Judicial Disciplinary Procedure (W. Va. R. Jud. Disc. P. 7.1). - Florida carries the admissions rules (
Fla. Bar Admis. R. 3-23.3). - Montana carries the Code of Judicial Conduct (
Mont. Code Jud. Conduct R. 2.9) and the Sentence Review Division Rules (Mont. Sent. Rev. Div. R. 4). - Massachusetts juvenile and probate court rules are cited under their own families, for example
Mass. Juv. Ct. Care & Prot. Rule 5,Mass. Prob. & Fam. Ct. Rule 4-09andMass. Supp. Prob. & Fam. Ct. Rule 201. - Hawaii evidence rules are served rule by rule, as sections of HRS chapter 626:
Haw. R. Evid. 404. - Pennsylvania serves the Constitution’s Schedule apart from Article V (
Pa. Const. sched. art. V, § 4), and holds 54 sections of the unconsolidated statutes (35 P.S. ch. 780, for example35 P.S. § 780-102). The rest of the unconsolidated statutes are not held. - Puerto Rico carries Reorganization Plan No. 2-2011 (
Plan Reorg. Núm. 2-2011 P.R. art. 14) and the 1930 Civil Code, 1,811 articles all marked repealed (Cód. Civ. 1930 P.R. art. 481), beside the 2020 Civil Code. - Maine carries the MaineCare manual (
10-144 C.M.R. ch. 101, ch. II, § 25), and New Hampshire the Department of Environmental Services rules, among themN.H. Admin. Rules, Env-Wq 403.17.
State administrative registers
corpusType=STATE_REGISTER holds the notices a state printed in its official register: proposed, adopted and emergency rule text, one document per printed item, cited by register volume and page (36 Pa. Bull. 510).
It is not codified law.
A register page often prints a rule that was later withdrawn, amended or never adopted, and the codified rule under REGULATION is the operative text.
Register items are served with goodLawStatus: "unknown" by construction, year is the year of the issue the item was printed in, and they are never treated as primary law when search ranks results, so a register notice does not outrank the rule it concerns.
Search them by naming the token: {"corpusType": "STATE_REGISTER", "state": "pa"}.
Counted 2026-10-09: 144,903 items across 24 jurisdictions.
Every register is read from the jurisdiction’s own government archive.
The counts differ widely because the registers differ in size and in how much of each is loaded today, so a small count is not a claim about how many notices the state printed.
A register citation also resolves when we hold the item, or when we do not and a codified rule’s history note cites it.
See Register citations.
State agency guidance
State-issued regulatory guidance that interprets state law, the state-scoped analog of federal agency guidance. Queryable withcorpusType=STATE_AGENCY_GUIDANCE paired with state.
13,353 documents across 49 jurisdictions. Unlike statutes, regulations, constitutions and
court rules, this is not on a comprehensive 52-jurisdiction rollout: it lands state by state,
and some states may never be built.
Almost all of it is insurance-regulator guidance (source=state_insurance_bulletin). Four states,
Arizona, Oregon, New Jersey and Vermont, publish their financial-institutions regulator’s
guidance on the same index, and those documents are served separately as
source=state_financial_bulletin so an insurance search is never handed a credit-union bulletin.
That second source covers banking, credit unions, trust companies, escrow agents, consumer
lenders, money transmitters, loan originators and investment advisers. It exists only for these
four states, because most states’ banking regulators publish no numbered series and there is
nothing to cite. It is not a claim to cover state banking law.
state_financial_bulletin is served goodLawStatus: "unknown": neither regulator has rescinded
anything we hold, so there is no measured signal to certify against. The insurance source keeps
its own per-state verdict.
Cadence here is per state, not per document.
The bulletins dispatcher runs daily and walks about two states a day, so each state’s series is
re-pulled roughly once a month rather than on a fixed weekday.
GET /boards carries lastRetrievedAt per state, which is the figure to read
rather than this column.
This corpus is a pilot. It does not include NAIC (National Association of Insurance
Commissioners) model law text, which is a copyrighted, commercially sold publication rather than
open government primary law. Only each state’s own published bulletin, issued under that state’s
own authority, is in scope.
State Attorney General opinions
Formal written opinions in which a state’s chief legal officer construes that state’s own statutes, constitution and regulations for an officer, legislator or local government who asked. Queryable withcorpusType=STATE_AG_OPINION paired with state.
104,572 opinions across 43 jurisdictions. Like state agency guidance this is not a
comprehensive rollout: it lands jurisdiction by jurisdiction, and it is early. The survey behind
this corpus measured roughly 184,600 individually addressable opinions across 52 jurisdictions, so
what is live is a fraction of what exists. Call GET /us/statutes/coverage for the live figure
rather than this page, which is written by hand.
Iowa is not served: it publishes its opinions only through a commercial service. A few further
jurisdictions are not built because the publisher identifies opinions by subject alone, and an
identifier we invented would not survive the publisher renaming a document. Identification by date
is no longer a reason to refuse: where the publisher prints a structured issue date, that date is
the citable key, which is how the District of Columbia, Mississippi and West Virginia are served.
Federal coverage
15 federal corpora, with per-corpus scope limits.
Refresh cadence
How often each jurisdiction is re-pulled, and which 24 refresh weekly.
