Caveats

DocketCategory

Each DocketCategory has its own nuanced regex patterns identifying its category, serial_text, and date

Adding new Citation types

Recently, the JIB was added as a new category. This means creating a new CitationConstructor object with distinct objectts.

Adding new DocketRules

There are are AM and BM docket numbers that represent rules rather than decisions.

DocketReports

Based on a CiteableDocument, construct a temp object prior to formation of Citation. This temp object is either:

1. A combination of a Docket object with its Report object; or
2. A solo, undocketed Report.
