Documented settings (whitespace-only or same-character changes; the proofs hold): the sheet's two columns read column by column (the gutter at x 300); one period the Word export draws twice at one place taken as chrome (the print shows one); the empty bullet printed above “THE HEARING” set on its own line (one whitespace-only fix); the revision line printed below the left column set after the right column (one same-character fix). Attached to Judge Tim P. Kam: the card is Department 7's, where the court's Judicial Directory page (no effective date printed) seats Judge Tim P. Kam.
