Spotted a sentence we should add?

The dataset gets stronger as people send in publicly reported Korean sentences — especially when they pair against an existing case in our database. We need crime, defendant class, sentence, and at least one source you can verify (news article, court docket number, Sentencing Commission record).

  • 1. Tell us the citation (case number or news URL)
  • 2. Describe the offense and the outcome
  • 3. Why does it pair against an existing case?
  • 4. We review and reply within ~7 days

The whole dataset doesn't need to spread. A single comparison, shared in a class group chat, will do.
