    The announcement that Zotero will recognize US Supreme Court citations at LII provides as an example

    http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/94-172.ZO.html

    which is a 1995 case (Hubbard v. US). This works as advertised. However, the LII seems to have changed something, so that recent cases, eg

    http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/06-480.ZS.html

    (Legin Creative Leather Products v. PSKS, just decided) aren't recognized. Is this right, or am I perhaps doing something wrong here?

    Hi,

    I wrote the translator (I'm not a member of the Zotero team, just a contributor and former lawyer).

    Looks like LII has links that use "supct.law.cornell.edu" in addition to "www.law.cornell.edu" - I'll modify the translator this week to accomodate both URLs. In the meantime, just change the "supct" to "www" - reload the page, and you should be able to capture it.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    This is still an ongoing problem. Certain cases scrape just fine, i.e.
    http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0465_0668_ZS.html

    Others don't, i.e. http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0370_0421_ZS.html

    Any insight on this would be much appreciated.

    wdblak,

    It looks like sometimes the <meta> tag for "AUTHOR" has no contents. I have added a default string "Author not provided" for these instances. Please update your translators manually or wait 24 hours. If you are still having difficulty please let me know.
