Brainstorm coverage map

[anseljh]

Related to freelawproject/related-literature#3 (Write a paper about FLP datasets and coverage).

It would be great to have some kind of map view of all the legal jurisdictions in the US:

• federal system: geographic districts; geographic appellate circuits; SCOTUS; other oddities like Federal Circuit, ITC, Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, whatever
• state systems: complex, but generally: counties, appellate districts, state court of last resort

And then, for each of them, some info about coverage:

• Is coverage ad hoc (like RECAP uploads), automated & complete (like a full-coverage scraper for an appeals court's opinions page), or some combination?
• When does coverage start / end?

What other elements of coverage are important to understand?

CourtListener has a good coverage page with some of this info: https://www.courtlistener.com/coverage/

Because there are so many overlapping things, my sense is it'd make sense to have some toggles to show just parts at a time.

I've done something similar before with SVG and it worked pretty well.

Would be really nice to consult a designer on how to best present this!
