Connector to https://www.courtlistener.com broken?

The Zotero importer from CourtListener used to be outstanding, but recently it's having trouble extracting any metadata.

I believe the web site has changed how it's displaying the information, so it's likely the connector needs to be updated.

Has anyone else notice this?
  • Yeah, I can reproduce. (In the future, though, please include an example URL when reporting translator issues.) We'll work on a fix.
  • @fruitbat: Pushed a fix. Thanks for reporting. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings.

    I don't know much about legal citations, and I had to make some subjective decisions about how to fill fields here that I'm not sure were right. (In particular, it seems like we're writing more information to the "History" field than we used to, pre-site redesign.) When you get a chance, could you give it a try and let me know if anything needs to be fixed?
  • I found this because imports aren't working for me either. I'm writing primarily about attempting to save from the RECAP archive, e.g. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67508068/alecto-healthcare-services-llc/.

    I updated translators manually per your directions above before writing, and do not find that it changed the issue.

    For case law, I saw the icon that suggests the connector recognizes the source, but I encountered "An error occurred saving with CourtListener.
    Attempting to save using Embedded Metadata instead." I made the attempt with a case I had already saved, for the sake of replication: https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/99296/schenck-v-united-states/

    Re: what's written to the "History" field, perhaps you already know for certain what used to be written, but in case it's helpful: This is what's in the "History" field for Schenck v. United States when I saved it in September 2024:

    39 S. Ct. 247, 63 L. Ed. 470, 1919 U.S. LEXIS 2223
  • Sorry, our previous fix didn't get pushed out properly. Try again now.
