Forms Legal: Multilingual Legal Templates Corpus

19,107 legal document templates across 36 jurisdictions in 12 languages — 22,198 rows (one per document and language). Released under CC-BY-4.0 by Forms Legal. Each row describes one template in one language: what the document is, when it is needed, its key elements and, for newer templates, how to fill it in, the statutory requirements and common mistakes; plus frequently asked questions, the primary statute when one is cited (e.g. BGB §1827, Cap. 192, Art. L. 145-1), and metadata (jurisdiction, ISO code, category, language). source_url points to the live page where the template can be filled in and downloaded free as PDF or Word. Content is in the language of each jurisdiction: German (DE, CH, AT), French (FR, BE, Quebec), Spanish (ES, MX, CO, CL, AR), Portuguese (BR, PT), Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian Bokmål, Danish, Finnish, Polish, and English (US, CA, UK, AU, NZ, IE, SG, HK, IN, NG, PH, MY, KE, GH, PK, AE). Useful for: retrieval-augmented answers that point to a jurisdiction-specific template, multilingual legal NLP, statutory citation extraction, structured question answering and comparative-law research. Files templates.parquet — the corpus (22,198 rows, 24 columns; schema in README.md) README.md — schema, field coverage, statistics, usage examples, citation LICENSE — CC-BY-4.0 Limitations. Templates are reference documents written and maintained by the Forms Legal editorial team; no individual document is reviewed by a lawyer. This is reference material, not legal advice. Laws change — check the cited statute at its official source. Coverage is uneven across jurisdictions and fields (see README.md).
