Each group contains both the primary document files and their corresponding reference files (JSON/TIF pairs) to maintain document integrity. This structure reflects the natural progression of a legal case while keeping related documents together. ## Groups Created - **Summons_and_Complaint**: Files containing the initial summons and complaint documents in the Mathewson vs. Wakelee case - **Demurrer_Documents**: Legal documents related to the defendants' demurrer and arguments against the complaint - **Court_Judgments**: Documents containing the final judgments and court decisions in the case - **Case_Administration**: Documents related to the procedural administration of the case (acceptance of service, costs, etc.)
