About Know99
Know99 was created by independent developers who care about technology and access to legal information. We make Taiwan’s public judgments easier to search, understand, and use. The website is currently in beta, and we welcome feedback as we continue improving its features and data.
Data source
All judgment data on this website comes from the Judicial Yuan Open Data Platform and is collected and updated according to the scope published by the Judicial Yuan.
Article 83 of the Court Organization Act requires courts and their branches to publish judgments regularly, except where other laws provide otherwise.
Data coverage
The table shows the official starting point for each category. See the Judicial Yuan judgment system’s data coverage。
Know99 is still in beta, so the judgments currently searchable here may cover a smaller range than the official data shown below.
