Why?
The Plaquemines Parish Court website lets you search for court dockets on its website, but you cannot download them in bulk. This scraper allows you to run analysis on the cases they handle and their outcomes.
What?
This project has the following goals:
- Scrape court dockets off the Plaquemines Parish Court website
- View and compare court cases across multiple years
- The scraper starts at January 20th of the desired year, rather than the 1st. We don't know why.
