importing judicial decisions
I'm new to Zotero, and my book has a lot of legal citations. I'm specifically having trouble importing legal decisions. If I open a legal decision in Justia and click on the Zotero button, it saves it as a web page, not as a judicial decision.
Any quick ways to do this so that I don't have to go in and fix each one individually? I'm going to have to add a bunch of these. Perhaps there's a better site to access the decisions so that they will be added to Zotero correctly?

Also, if you are doing legal citation, you may way to consider Jurism, a version of Zotero with much expanded legal citation support: https://juris-m.github.io
Here's an example that didn't work:
https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/supreme-court/1993/851-s-w-2d-139-2.html
And I can't figure out how to get the court case to appear in italics, as required.
Problem 1: I was trying to cite a number of state constitutions, and it puts quotation marks around the name of the document, if I set it up as a "statute" in Zotero. My current workaround is to put the name of the document in the Code Number field.
Problem 2: I was looking at comparable book that I thought were in Chicago style, and they used italics. But it looks like I was wrong about that.
Thank you!
I noticed pulling it up on Google Schoar (then using the Chrome plugin) imported it as case law not a website while othersites (using the Chrome plugin) were just going to import it as a website. The only thing was that it put the docket number in the date and missed the docket number.
