Add Attorney Field on CourtLink

I just ran a search on CourtLink across all state courts in CA for cases involving one litigant and one attorney, and I had to enter the attorney's name separately for every single court. Any reason you can't add one field to search across all courts for this?

For many of us, our days are packed with tasks, deliverables, timelines...you get the picture.

We'd all like to save time wherever we can and while this is a good idea, at this time we will not be considering it for further evaluation.  

The Attorney field cannot be added to CourtLink’s multi-court search criteria, because not all state courts contain that field.   Searches couldn’t be accurately restricted using it.  

Potentially, the Attorney and Law Firm fields could be added as refining criteria in a Single Search or a New Lexis search.  This would require a category for “N/A” results, since many courts use only one field or the other, or none.

So for now, continue coming up with these great ideas, share them with your fellow community members - and let's see what happens!
