Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-15 (California T4 Madera build 2026-10-15) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-madera/pages/divisions__probate-court.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-15; 629781 bytes, sha256 e9ead493ced8ac688084d6bf224b03b50a7f34d8f06d971863817129b62d639b) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item (the page title, “Probate Court”); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page's deadline for ex parte documents, “no later than 10:00 a.m. prior to the court date”, differs from Local Rule 2.1.4's “no later than 11:00 a.m. the day immediately preceding the day of the hearing” (Rule 2.1.4 excepts petitions for temporary orders in Probate Guardianship matters, which Rule 7.1.10 sets at 10:00 a.m.).
