Anyone have any idea if this 'format'
case
name
year
court designation
opinion
paragraph
is anything like universal/applicable wider than the US?
E.g. could I mix up
Peterborough City Court(Canada)
with Peterborough City Court (UK)
and finish up with the same citation reference?
This does appear flexible. Just wondered how flexible?
