I've come across what appear to be a handful of errors in the api for the courts.

Here a few examples, slimmed down. It looks like the names do not line up with the abbreviations.

Minnesota --> Maine
Massachusetts --> DC
Puerto Rico -->> DC
Alaska --> Minnesota

{
  "name_abbreviation": "D. Minn.",
  "url": "https://api.case.law/v1/courts/d-minn/",
  "jurisdiction": "U.S.",
  "slug": "d-minn",
  "name": "United States District Court for the District of Maine"
}, 
{
  "name_abbreviation": "D. Mass.",
  "url": "https://api.case.law/v1/courts/d-mass-2/",
  "jurisdiction": "U.S.",
  "slug": "d-mass-2",
  "name": "United States District Court for the District of Columbia"
},
{
  "name_abbreviation": "D.P.R.",
  "url": "https://api.case.law/v1/courts/dpr-1/",
  "jurisdiction": "U.S.",
  "slug": "dpr-1",
  "name": "United States District Court for the District of Columbia"
},
{
  "name_abbreviation": "D. Alaska",
  "url": "https://api.case.law/v1/courts/d-alaska-2/",
  "jurisdiction": "U.S.",
  "slug": "d-alaska-2",
  "name": "United States District Court for the District of Minnesota"
},

I came across these bugs because we are working on our own courts-db and would be happy to collaborate. Thanks again for the great work.
