case-in-context

Case in Context bot, a tool that identifies which case an article is talking about.

Often, wire services like the AP and other news media do a bad job of linking to court opinions and dockets when they write stories about the law. This is a bot that attempts to remedy that, by targeting tweets posted by the AP and identifying the relevant case using ChatGPT and Courtlistener. You can use another LLM if you prefer; just make sure to adjust the code accordingly.
