To help users of the data understand what it means, especially all the legal jargon, it would be helpful to have a glossary of all the field names from the various case types along with their descriptions. For version control purposes I think this should live in a JSON file. Alternatively or in addition to this, the glossary could also be added to the database itself using COMMENT ON COLUMN.

I don't have the legal background for this, so help would be very much appreciated.

If it helps, I started a case type description google sheet for my own personal use. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rpbbJHrIa7mu1ZUl_rcjRxUTLYCDO3-WT7yqc_MkIro/edit#gid=1156710785
