Description of fields

All fields are optional!

litigants 
List of litigants, such as "Miranda v. Arizona". If a Wikipedia article using this exact string exists, a link will automatically be created. Alternately, if an article exists but another name is desired for display, a wikilink may be specified; i.e., "[[Case article|This v. That]]". Note: This should likely not be optional.
vol 
Volume of the reporter.
reporter 
The abbreviated term for whatever reporter is being referenced; i.e., "U.S." for the U.S. Supreme Court's "United States Reports".
opinion 
The opinion number, often the page number for the case.
pinpoint 
A specific holding, typically displayed as a page or paragraph number.
court 
The court being cited, such as "3d Cir." or "M.D. Ala." In order for court to appear, date must be specified. Note: This field also should likely not be optional.
date 
The year or date in which the court rendered its decision.
url 
A web site or other online article with information on the case. For example, for a U.S. Supreme Court case, the URL to FindLaw is http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol={{{vol}}}&page={{{page}}}
