Do we actually need both of these regex patterns here for middlesex. I assume we would have some normalization of capitalization

this would be cleaner if it was just broken up into each county - surrogate courts. I think.
so parent Ny surrogate court and then each subdivision no?

while this is probably how its stated - im not sure we can do court of claims here - its a bit ... tough because the court of claims is also a federal court.

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. |

The new courts in this PR were already added at the end of last year and beginning of this year, also some of the new variations in this PR were added in a different PR, maybe some of them were taken from this PR. See merged PRs from Dec 29, 2023 to Jan 5, 2024. From this PR will probably only need to add a few more variations, but to do so it would be most convenient to do it in a separate PR since resolving the conflicts that exist will be very difficult due to the large number of changes that were made in this PR, the diff with main branch is huge. |
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.
