RAW Markup: <term>

• The term of the court in which the decision was issued (typically only used for U.S. and state supreme courts).
• This date tag, like its siblings (dated, filed, etc.), are used markup the mutliple dates often attached to an opinion. Although some courts use the same term to describe different dates (e.g., some courts use "filed" to describe when an appeal is filed, while others use it to describe when a lawsuit is filed or when a new decision is filed with the court clerk). All date tags are meant to match the particular term used by the court regardless of differences in that term's usage between courts or juridictions.
