About lawsuits

The lawsuits contemplated by this funtion have to be filed in a Brazilian Tribunal de Justica (Justice Court). download_cposg() finds the lawsuit in its state's online Sistema de Automacao de Justica (Justice Automation System), solves the captcha withholding the information, and collects the HTML.

Implemented TJs
