Working with the contact form
The CourtListener contact form supports pre-populating the issue type dropdown via the issue_type query parameter. This is useful when linking to the contact form from other pages where you already know what kind of issue the user has.
Usage
Just do:
/contact/?issue_type=
For example, to link to the contact form with "Case Removal Request" pre-selected:
/contact/?issue_type=removal
