Justice is a perennial topic in scholarship on Romania, from socialist legality, through transitional justice, and to anti-corruption studies. Systematic study of law and justice has been stymied, however, by lack of basic information: who was doing what, where, when, and how? To begin to address this shortcoming, this brief article introduces the Romanian Judicial Professions Database, a new, open-source tool which provides yearly, individual data on 10,000 judges, 6000 lawyers, 5500 prosecutors, 3000 notaries public (notari publici), and 1000 bailiffs (executori judecatoresti), in some cases going back to the 1970s. The database can be downloaded at https://osf.io/gfjke/ and supporting software is available at https://github.com/r-parvulescu/ro_judicial_professions
