Assign ids for missouri court of appeals district courts #92

Closed quevon24 closed 2 months ago

quevon24 commented 3 months ago

Which ids should we assign for missing district courts in courts-db?

Taking a look at courts-db it generally adds wd, sd or ed to identify the district, for example: miwd (United States District Court For The Western Division of Michigan), mssd (Southern District of Mississippi) or illinoised (United States District Court for the Eastern District of Illinois)

I also took a look to uscourts page, and they usually do the same, for example: caed.uscourts.gov, alsd.uscourts.gov

But in some cases that doesn't apply, for example with: www.are.uscourts.gov/ or www.mow.uscourts.gov

I think these should be the ids:

Bill has done a lot of this, so I'll steer mostly clear, but SALI has gotten a lot more popular since we last created IDs for courts, so it might be worth a quick look at it.

I took a look at SALI but could't find the labels for the court of appeals district courts, only for the court of appeals: http://lmss.sali.org/R6618c897B273F9Da2aBD7dd and it is the same that we currently have in courts-db: moctapp

For us district courts they use these suffixes for the western and eastern districts: wd and ed

The docket numbers of each district court of appeals contain these prefixes: ED, WD, and SD, perhaps we can use them for the ids and keep them like this: moctappwd, moctapped, moctappsd

Yeah, SALI is a monster, but thanks for digging into it. We'll need a SALI expert around here eventually anyway. I leave final analysis to @flooie when he gets a moment!

I'm no SALI expert. I am absolutely "SALI-curious" when it comes to coding courts.
