The DC Court of Appeals releases precedential opinions every Thursday morning. CourtListener has 12K+ precedential opinions on its site: https://www.courtlistener.com/?q=&order_by=dateFiled+desc&court=dc&stat_Precedential=on

But the most recent case is from June 2012, which means that the powerful alert features (native and used by sites like Scout) are unavailable.

Goal is to use the CourtListener scraper framework to get the DC Court of Appeals fully plugged in.

I've built a scraper that should be able to plug into juriscraper, but I'm not 100% sure.

Happily, DCCA made a bunch of opinions available for bulk download, so now there's a ZIP file with 700+ opinions in this repository.
