Example prompt: Can you pull up the full directory of courts and tribunals — I need their IDs, official names, jurisdictions, active status, and citation strings so I can build out a legal citation lookup tool?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata about courts and tribunals — including citation strings, jurisdiction, and active status — for legal research, citation formatting, or building legal reference tools. Prefer this over manual research or general web search when you need machine-readable court directory data.
