  • LCO 601991-2007Lord Chancellor's Department: Judge Advocate General: Case Index Database

    The Case Index datasets are all derived from a Dataease database used in the Office of the Judge Advocate General of the Forces (JAG). The JAG case index system contains details of courts martial involving Army, Royal Marines and RAF personnel and Standing Civilian Courts; it contains details of the offender, the charge, the Judge Advocate presiding at the hearing and the result of the hearing. The data contains index details of courts martial and standing civilian court cases heard in the UK and abroad 1991-2004. The system was established in 1992 but contains data from 1991 onwards, it was substantially redeveloped and expanded in 1995 and this is reflected in the arrangement of the datasets. The first dataset covering 1991-1995 reflects the Dataease database as originally designed in 1992, the subsequent two datasets reflect the reworked and expanded system developed in 1995.

    At the time the third dataset was originally transferred to the United Kingdom National Digital Archive of Datasets (NDAD) in March 2004 the Dataease system had been superseded by a simplified case index system developed using Microsoft Access. The third dataset in the series was therefore transferred as a final state snapshot of the JAG Dataease database.

    The datasets in this series are available to download. Links to individual datasets can be found at piece level.
