Verified 2026-08-02: this circuit publishes NO judge portraits. The 1st's Sanity CMS judge documents carry no image field at all (38 checked via the content API), and the 12th's Judges page serves only a logo, an email-signature graphic and an Adobe button. The missing photo is a court fact, not a harvest gap.
