CanLII identifiers from a neutral citation — morie_ingest_canlii_case

A neutral citation such as "2007 BCSC 1700" names its court (BCSC) and CanLII's case id is the citation in lower case without spaces ("2007bcsc1700"). The Supreme Court of Canada is the one court whose database id differs from its citation code ("csc-scc"). Reporter-style citations ("[1959] SCR 121") have no derivable id and come back NA.

Value

A data.frame with citation, database_id and case_id, NA where the citation is not neutral.
