Volume and reporter id. cites

[jcushman]

We don't currently handle this citation format:

"People v. Brislin, 80 Ill. 423; Lehmer v. The People, id. 601; Prout v. The People, 83 id. 154; C. & N. W. Ry. Co. v. The People, id. 467; Andrews v. The People, id. 529; Gage v. Parker, 103 id. 528; Blake v. The People, 109 id. 504; Riverside v. Howell, 113 id. 256; Schertz v. The People, 105 id. 27; Murphy v. The People, 120 id. 234; Riebling v. People, 145 id. 120."

It's used both with the same volume, like "id. 601" for "80 Ill. 601", and with different volumes, like "83 id. 154" for "83 Ill. 154".

(I don't have any great ideas about how to handle this and I'm not sure how common it is; just documenting.)

I already took a look at this, i found it in Bluebook rule 4.1, this rule mentions the use of id. to refer to the same volumen and reporter but different page in the same paragraph, but i couldn't find the use of id. to reference to a previous reporter instead of a page.

We have already detected the id. citations (IdCitation) but we only store the pin_cite number, there is no reference to the referenced citation.

The first case (id. page_number) could be solved if we look to the previous and closest Citation.

My knowledge of law is limited, I would like to know in which book/website the use of id. is mentioned to refer to the reporter and not the page number.

this seems so minor as to be not worth resolving. Also shame on them for abusing the ID format in the 1800s
