Cases missing SCDB IDs #542

Closed Colinstarger closed 7 years ago

Colinstarger commented 7 years ago

The following 2015 Term cases are missing SCDB Ids (1) FERC v. Electric Power- https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/3171727/ferc-v-electric-power-supply-assn/ -Should have ID 2015-008 - http://supremecourtdatabase.org/analysisCaseDetail.php?sid=&cid=2015-008-01&pg=0

(2) Montgomery v. LA- https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/3177217/montgomery-v-louisiana/

Note this appears to be an issue because the Court changed its opinion

Looks like these are because of duplicates. Here's the FERC that has the SCDB ID: https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/3177219/ferc-v-electric-power-supply-assn/

And the Montgomery: https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/3177218/montgomery-v-louisiana/

Not sure what the best solution here is. I think in the past we've just chalked this up to duplicates being an annoying problem, and you've fixed them manually. I'd love to fix the citator so it picks one or the other more consistently, but I haven't found time for that yet.

For now, I think I'll just add manually. That ok?

mlissner commented 7 years ago

No, I don't think so, actually, because then the SCDB ID would be associated with more than one case. I thought in the past, you just updated your vizes to reflect the correct case, rather than the duplicate?

Colinstarger commented 7 years ago

Solved by re-making maps to the updated "duplicate". Issue closed.
