Oversettelsene er i hovedsak levert av Høyesterett. Her finnes oversettelser til avgjørelser
som er truffet i Høyesterett i avdeling, i storkammer og i plenum. Noen få avgjørelser fra ankeutvalget vil også
forekomme i oversatt versjon. For de fleste tekstene er det kun sammendraget som er brukt i Norsk Retstidende som er
oversatt. For utvalgte avgjørelser gjengis hele rettsavgjørelsen. Oversettelsene for saker tilbake til 2008 er fritt tilgjengelige.
Oversettelselser av andre type avgjørelser er tilgjengelige i ett år fra de først er publisert på Lovdata.
