Division II
Verified against Judge Kerra A. Smith's own court profile page, 2026-07-24.
M.C. Blanchard Judicial Building, 190 Governmental Center, 6th Floor, Pensacola, FL 32502
Harvested live by BenchPath 2026-07-24 from the circuit's own published record.
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.
Answer three quick questions. The platform pulls Kerra A. Smith's full public case-law record from the source, newest first — your matter never narrows the pull; it directs the relevance ranking and the dual-AI analysis. Every hit comes back Bluebook-cited with the opinion's own words quoted verbatim. The scan takes the time precision takes.
