Simon,
Not sure this should go here (though might be helpful for other
implementors), but here’s the bibliographic formatting I get with a
legal case in Zotero, APA style:
Johnson v. Eisentrager. (1950).
So everything else is gone other than the title and year decided.
This is where the fallback logic is important. I’m not sure why this is
doing this, though perhaps the style doesn’t have a case template? If
not, then it should fallback like so:
Case --\> article
reporter --\> container-title
reporter volume --\> volume
first page --\> pages
OK, it probably wouldn’t work precisely correctly, but at least the data
would be there.

It should not be doing this. I’ll fix it when finish the new CSL
schema (so I can finish the new parser).
