multi-valued PACER referral strings not captured
In everyone's favorite case of the hour:
<td width="60%" valign="top"><br>
Waymo LLC v. Uber Technologies, Inc. et al<br>
Assigned to: Hon. William Alsup<br>
Referred to: Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley<br>
Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. Laporte (Settlement)<br>
this is parsed as
pb3:juriscraper jhawk$ PYTHONPATH=`pwd` juriscraper/pacerdocket.py juriscraper/pacer/appellate/02.06.03\ CAND-ECF.html 2>/dev/null |tail -5
"jury_demand": "Both",
"nature_of_suit": "830 Patent",
"parties": [],
"referred_to_str": "Jacqueline Scott Corley"
}
pb3:juriscraper jhawk$
Omitting Judge Laporte.
Oh no. Cases can have multiple referring judges? That's....cruel. Aside from fixing this in the parser, we'll need to update CourtListener to handle more than one judge.
