Find decisions citing a law
get_cases_for_lawRead-onlyIdempotent
Find all cases that cite a specific law section.
Returns cases that reference the given statute section in their
text. Useful for understanding how courts interpret a specific
provision. To narrow the citing set by keyword, court, or date,
use ``search_cases(query=..., cited_law_book=..., cited_law_section=...)``
instead.
Args:
book_code: Law book code (e.g. "BGB", "StGB").
section: Section identifier (e.g. "823").
law_id: Direct law database ID (alternative to book_code+section).
sort: "date" (default, newest first) or "most_cited" — the
latter surfaces the landmark decisions interpreting this
provision (most-cited first).
limit: Maximum results (default 20, max 50). Values above 50 are
clamped; the response then includes ``limit_clamped: true``
and the original ``requested_limit``.
