This article introduces a dual-corpus database on the Turkish Constitutional Court spanning 1962–2025: 5,513 norm review and 16,626 individual application decisions, with claim-level outcomes, full texts, validated classifications, and a companion dataset of 138 justices. It fills a gap in replicable infrastructure on a court prominent in the comparative literature on judicial politics and democratic backsliding. The data make judicial disagreement and avoidance measurable at population scale: procedural rejections, a gate-keeping category excluded from prior quantitative work, constitute 20% of norm review decisions, and dissent rates range from 6% in the Court’s sections to 47% in plenary.
