Clean up to ill. Generally great work. A fine first scraper.
Clean up to ill. Generally great work. A fine first scraper.

Notes:
 - Removed import for re that was unused.
 - Moved the common part of the xpath statement to the __init__ method. DRY.
 - Simplified several of the xpaths. They were good, but I tweaked them a bit to make them more tolerant. For example, I removed the 'div' from several of them because maybe the court will forget it one day. With the current xpath queries, it'll work however the court decides to do their thing.
 - Removed the date_format variable. This is a style issue, but to me, if a variable is only ever called once, it can probably go. Having the variable makes me think that it's important and will be reused in several places...I start thinking the code is more complicated than it actually is. Removing it simplifies by removing that ambiguity, and by moving the actual value (the format string itself) to the place where it's used.
 - I rewrote the try/except block into a try/except/else block. This isolates the code that might fail.
 - Print lines and comments about problems are removed.
