Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-09 (California T4 Marin build 2026-10-09) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-marin/pages/forms-filing__attorneys-fee-schedule.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-09; 570996 bytes, sha256 255766fee091c288e26914fa108a19624be7d7adf59ceaea5a8ad7fbc4f2bf6e) 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; proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The court's local form CV044 (Rev. 6/4/15, also "Effective July 1, 2008") prints the same brackets but establishes the schedule "for all cases in which attorney's fees are requested" (this page: "where the obligation sued upon provides for attorney's fees") and omits this page's sentence capping a fee fixed by the Clerk at the fee prayed for - which text the clerk applies is a review task.
