Upgrade Storage[Juris-M, Feature Idea] Automatic parallel citations via "related" item mechanism.
When I have to insert a parallel citation, such as:
Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S. Ct. 2052, 80 L. Ed. 2d 674 (1984).
I have to make a Juris-M entry for the 466 U.S. 668, and that's the "canonical" one, since it's using the court's own designation for the case. That's the one I will make notes under and tag. The others I create using the menu for duplicate item, and then change the reporter, reporter volume, and page only. Using the "related" tab, I can then mark them as related items.
Perhaps when I insert a citation for the first item, it ought to look through the related items for ones with the same case title, jurisdiction, court, and date, and when it finds them, automatically create the parallel citation? It would need to know the right order to put them in too... U.S -> S. Ct. -> L. Ed. 2d;
Or... perhaps there ought to be another field in there for this?
Where can I read about what's already been discussed about this topic, I wonder? Anyone got anything org-anized about it or anything?
