Code de la route, non-instruct (2025-07-11)

The objective of this project is to provide researchers, professionals and law students with simplified, up-to-date access to all French legal texts, enriched with a wealth of data to facilitate their integration into Community and European projects.

Normally, the data is refreshed daily on all legal codes, and aims to simplify the production of training sets and labeling pipelines for the development of free, open-source language models based on open data accessible to all.

Concurrent reading of the LegalKit

To use all the legal data published on LegalKit, you can use RAGoon:

pip3 install ragoon

Then, you can load multiple datasets using this code snippet:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from ragoon import load_datasets

req = [
    "louisbrulenaudet/code-artisanat",
    "louisbrulenaudet/code-action-sociale-familles",
    # ...
]

datasets_list = load_datasets(
    req=req,
    streaming=False
)

dataset = datasets.concatenate_datasets(
    datasets_list
)
