BenchPath today announced that its verified case-law corpus is live on benchpath.ai: Florida appellate opinions from the Supreme Court and all six District Courts of Appeal, spanning 2004 through the present, held in custody from the courts' own publications with a sha-256 receipt recorded for every opinion at fetch.
As of August 10, 2026, the corpus holds 175,812 verified appellate opinions and 59,685 matched trial-judge attributions across 972 judges. 832 judges clear the census floor of five or more matched opinions and now show a live appellate-outcome census on their public profiles. The current totals render from the database, not from marketing copy, at benchpath.ai/intelligence.
Attribution from the court's words, not a model's guess
A judge is credited with an appellate review only when the opinion's own attribution line names the lower tribunal. That line is stored verbatim as the receipt, and every match is cross-checked county-to-circuit before it counts; ambiguous attribution lines are held rather than approximated, and unmatched opinions stay unmatched.
The census itself reports the appellate courts' own disposition labels — affirmed, reversed, dismissed — as counts with their date span. It carries a deliberate floor: profiles show the census only at five or more matched opinions. There is no rate, no score, no prediction, and no judge-selection advice anywhere in the product.
For lawyers and self-represented litigants alike
For attorneys, the corpus sits underneath BenchPath's judge dossiers and reports: appellate opinions that reviewed a judge's cases appear with their official-slip links and hashes, alongside the Live Case-Type Intelligence Scan that reads the public record on demand, Bluebook-cited and quoted verbatim.
For self-represented readers, select dossiers carry verbatim, Bluebook-cited excerpts from hash-verified official slip opinions with plain-language explanations of what the court did and the reasons the court itself stated — reciting the public record, never choosing a motion, argument, or strategy for the reader. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
