Add support for combined PACER dockets #711

Open mlissner opened 7 years ago

mlissner commented 7 years ago

I'm really not sure what to call these, but PACER has some function that allows multiple dockets to be combined into one. Or something:

When we run into these, there's a funny thing that happens. One "docket" can have a bunch of docket entries with the same number: screenshot from 2017-07-10 16-45-05

Which...we...of course...don't know how to handle.

This came up while resolving issue #709, so we may want to revisit that when we get this resolved. This is low priority though. It's quite the corner case.

mlissner commented 7 years ago

Here's a good example case:

court: vawd docket_number: 7:10-cr-00054-SGW

mlissner commented 7 years ago

Also of note: These seem to disproportionately affect sealed cases, which is an argument against focusing on them. In issue #709, more than half of the 60 instances of this that we encountered mentioned the word "seal" in the document description.

These are pretty rare. I have a feeling the easiest thing to do here is to figure out how to identify these, and just ignore them.
