† Rows marked with a dagger share one combined total for their court. Where a court is held from several sources or senate groups, the count covers all of that court’s decisions and is not broken down further.
Older holdings come from digitized text. Check verbatim quotations against the original, as recognition errors are possible.
Federal and state statutes
The German statute corpus, held as consolidated current-version texts.
