Per-jurisdiction matrix
Measured 2026-09-05, sorted by statute volume. A dash means we do not serve that corpus for that jurisdiction, and the bracketed marker points to the reason in Why six jurisdictions show no court rules.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superseded records and do not collapse versioned duplicates, so summing a column lands a little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, 51,395 summed here
against 53,638 for STATE_RULES. Take GET /us/statutes/coverage as authoritative for a total
and this table as the per-jurisdiction shape.Why six jurisdictions show no court rules
Every gap is a source problem rather than a coverage decision, and each has a different cause. Statutes, regulations and constitutions for these jurisdictions are unaffected. [1] No government-published consolidated text - Arkansas, Vermont. Both publish their amendment stream (promulgation orders, rule changes, proposed amendments) on the judiciary’s own site, but the consolidated current text is published only by a commercial licensee. The rule text itself is a government edict and in the public domain; what is missing is a government-published compilation. [2] Only rule-change orders are published - Colorado. The judiciary posts adopted and proposed rule changes, not consolidated text, and the most recent government compilation is from 2023. Ingesting it would serve superseded procedure as current law, so it is deliberately not ingested. [3] Already served undercorpusType=STATE - Oklahoma, South Dakota.
Both codify their rules of court into the statute book (Okla. Stat. tit. 12; SDCL tits. 15, 19
and 23A). Those rules are already in the corpus, cited the way the state cites them
(SDCL 15-6-12(b)). Ingesting them again under STATE_RULES would be duplicate coverage.
[4] Publisher policy - Missouri.
Missouri’s published court policy does not permit automated access to its judicial websites, and
we honor it. Coverage there needs a license from the state, not a workaround.
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.
13,334 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.
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.
