[Juris-M] What am I doing wrong?

grimmelm · June 28, 2015

I'm getting case citations that look like "Craigslist, Inc. v. 3Taps Inc., 942 F. Supp. 2d 962 (US|Ninth Circuit|N.D. California 2013)"

I assume I'm doing something wrong with the "Jurisdiction" and "Court" fields, but what?

which citation style? And is that using regular Zotero or MLZ/juris-m? If the latter, you should mark that in the subject of your thread (change by editing your first post).

Good point. I'm using Juris-M with the MLZ Bluebook styles. So I suppose another possibility is that I missed something in upgrading from MLZ to Juris-M.

To tidy up jurisdictions (and other things), install the Abbreviation Filter from https://juris-m.github.io. I'll put up a screencast later today that illustrates how it's used.

I've just released a fix for a bug reported in another thread. Automatic updates aren't working at the moment, so reinstall the Library Client to get the fix. This will get better, but we're stuck with manual installs for the time being.

(MLZ Bluebook style will be superceded by a JM version when I get to it. I have the basics of US legal citation forms in place in a module, and it's been put through its paces with JM Chicago Full Note (used for our MA theses). It's just a matter of snapping it into place in the Bluebook framework.)

I've added a small screencast tutorial in the Abbreviations Filter to our screencast tutorials, as item #1.4:

Thanks. Problem fixed: I had an older version of Abbreviation Filter installed in addition to the most recent one. Deleting it started everything working. Some of my citations were wrong, but others were right, and inspecting the Zotero items for the correct ones enabled me to diagnose what was wrong with the data in the incorrect ones.
