Abstract: This paper introduces the Judges and Agrarian Reform (jar) dataset, a municipality-year panel that records the allocation of 11 761 public land lots —up to approximately 260 000 hectares— to private actors through a judicial mechanism distinct from the way estab-lished by the land reform, to wit, adverse possession. Our statistical and GI s analysis suggests that the judicial allocation of public land has had two opposing effects: Land accumulation and access to land for landless peasants. We focus on the former effect through the case studies of Córdoba and Casanare. The jar database provides novel nationwide data to explain the determinants and effects of the role of the judiciary in land reform implementation in Colombia.
