      • The case type.  Examples: CF (Criminal Felony), L (Law)

  • LastUpdateDate- indicates the date on which the data was last updated at Judici. But some Providers give Judici cases when the data has not necessarily changed, so this date may not correspond to action on the case by the court.  For this reason, the md5 attribute in the search results is a better choice for use in determining whether a case has changed.  See also Date formats in Judici XML.
