Central Judicial Complex
Procedures page (division-fi-procedures) live but BODY EMPTY — confirmed by three independent checks (two researchers 7/19 + raw-and-rendered re-check 7/20): the court publishes a title-only page with no procedural content or document link for Division FI. Documented court-side absence.
Verified 2026-08-03: the 17th's own division pages publish rosters and portraits but no biography prose. A court fact, not a harvest gap.
Captured verbatim from the court's own published pages and orders during circuit verification. Chambers practices change without notice — confirm anything time-critical with the judicial assistant. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
