+For simplicity and with respect to balancing off data across different jurisdictions and languages,
+we disregard many US resources that are either very specialized (e.g., tax rulings),
+outdated/historical (e.g., founding letters),
+very small (less than 20MB),
+not legal language in the strict sense (conversations),
+or the information overlaps with other sources (study materials).
+If you are interested in a US-based (US-biased) model, refer to the "Pile of (US) Law" by Henderson et al. (2022).
+Analyses are put into the "other" category because in mc4_legal we also likely have similar text.
