Description
Cites to Common Law cases include a case name. Cites to Civil Law cases sometimes do, but mostly do not. The two types of citation have different formatting conventions, which must be covered by any full-service legal style.
In discussions with civil lawyers, we have hit a solution of putting the (optional) case nickname for Civil Law cases in the shortTitle field. In this case, the title will test "false", although it may have a working short-form. Users seem happy with this solution.
In the current UI, this leaves the Title column blank, which makes editing difficult. The attached patch fills the empty title string of a Civil Law case with appropriate details.
With this change, I think we're ready to go for basic legal support in both realms, which is kind of exciting.
