Enhance Wisconsin Supreme Court scraper
Wisconsin scraper is not down.
It must have been a one off event. But in taking a second look - we should add PDF parsing to the scraped opinions as citation information .. and a neutral citation to boot is embedded at the top of the PDF.
We should add the following method to extract out citations in both Wisconsin Supreme and Court of Appeals
def extract_from_text(self, scraped_text: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
Wisconsin should be converted from OpinionSite to OpinionSiteLinear
Additionally, all PDFs appear to have a nice and neat neutral citation at the start of the document.
@grossir - this is a good opportunity to update this scraper and bring around a nice addition. Citations are super important, but not all courts produce a citation with their opinion. Often they are generated by for-profit companies months or even years later.
Whenever we have the opportunity we should grab an official citation.
