Jurisdiction keysΒΆ
The default
jurisdiction segment is required. Abbreviations
that are not applied exclusively to legal materials of a specific
jurisdiction should be placed under this key.
Additional jurisdictions may be included in a source file, with a jurisdiction code drawn from the Legal Resource Registry (LRR) as key. Each jurisdiction segment must have the full set of category keys shown above. [1]
LRR keys have a colon-delimited path-like structure. If a key with multiple
path elements is included in a source file, keys for the parent elements
must also be included. For example, if the key us:c9
is included
(corresponding to the Ninth Circuit of the U.S. federal court system),
then us
must also be included.
