"State" Dropdown in the Case Tab

One feature that would be beneficial to have would be a "State" dropdown in the Case tab. Our firm practices in multiple states, and for each case, it would be helpful to insert a label as to which state the case is in. This would be helpful for creating reports, filtering cases or documents while performing a search, etc. Currently, we have state abbreviations listed in the "Class" field in order to be able to search and/or filter by state. However, if a new "State" field was created, we would be able to use the "Class" field for what it was programmed to do, which is to indicate what stage the case is currently in (for example, pre-suit, in-suit, settlement, etc.)
