No requirement category is unique to this judge among current division peers — the traps here are shared, not judge-specific.
Shared categories (Trial Exhibits, Remote / Zoom Hearings, Meet & Confer, Proposed Orders, Motion Calendar, Judge Preferences, Divisional Instructions, Special Set Hearings, Case Management, Courtesy Copies) still differ in the details — read the requirement cards, not just the labels.
No judge-level deadline on record runs shorter than a statewide deadline with the same trigger. The sentinel compares quoted timing across every published rule scoped to this judge on each visit — a clean result today is re-earned tomorrow.
