Jewish law is contained in the volumes of two Talmuds - the Jerusalem Talmud and the Babylonian Talmud.
At the time these court records were compiled the Jews of Babylon were an established community living under the liberal Persian empire which allowed freedom of expression.
The Jerusalem Talmud was created in the land of Israel under Roman rule which had become Christian. The Christian authorities limited freedom of expression of the Jewish courts and so the Jerusalem Talmud does not contain the same breadth of discussion as the Babylonian Talmud.
