New courts #74

Open quevon24 opened 1 year ago

quevon24 commented 1 year ago

New courts and courts variations obtained from Columbia data

Many of the new courts are from New york, here is a list of some of the new courts added:

Some of these courts were entered in courtlistener(https://www.courtlistener.com/help/api/jurisdictions/) but not in courts-db.

I'm going to duck out of this one. All yours for review, @flooie.

Thrilled to see movement here. Why did we do this though? Like, what project or effort is dependent on this?

In the old importer we used many strategies to try to find out the court like using a regex or folder name (https://github.com/freelawproject/courtlistener/blob/main/cl/corpus_importer/import_columbia/regexes_columbia.py), to update the importer i thought that the best approach would be to have that in courts-db.

I also implemented some courts that were manually entered into courtlistener but were not in courts-db.
