Vermont LITEFile testing on a laptop in Chrome. The current extraction-review language can sound as though the filer completed the form incorrectly or uploaded the wrong document when the system simply could not extract/match data.

- @VTskier For Vermont, call
Case category Court division, matching Vermont forms. Add plain-language examples such as Civil (including Small Claims) and Family (including Relief from Abuse) where they help users recognize the right division.
Code check / feasibility
These strings are currently hard-coded in:
efile_app/efile/templates/efile/extraction_review.html (no-details alert, Court or county, Case category)
efile_app/efile/static/js/extraction-review.js (the two per-field extraction/matching hints)
The Vermont jurisdiction config already exists and includes jurisdiction-specific metadata, so the Vermont labels/help can be made configurable rather than globally renaming concepts that may be called something different in Illinois or another state.
Proposed implementation
- Use neutral, system-focused extraction failure language.
- Make the court/category labels and optional explanatory examples jurisdiction-configurable, with sensible generic defaults.
- Keep the underlying API/model names (
court, case_category) unchanged; this should be a presentation/config change only.
- Add tests for Vermont-rendered labels and the no-match/no-guess copy.
Acceptance criteria
- Extraction failure copy does not imply that the user or uploaded form is wrong.
- Vermont shows
Court unit or county and Court division.
- Vermont can show examples such as Civil/Small Claims and Family/Relief from Abuse without changing API codes.
- Other jurisdictions retain their configured/generic terminology.
