Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-14 (California T4 Tulare build 2026-10-14) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-tulare/pages/electronic-evidence-portal.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-14; 630138 bytes, sha256 d9bfad4a742bf985d71b29a81126308798bb6a20df769635e3f75a70ec441955) 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, “Electronic Evidence Portal”); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: Rule 938(c)(1)(b) (carded with Chapter 9) lets each party to a family law evidentiary hearing upload and serve exhibits through “the Omnigo Digital Portal”; the page limits the portal to “Family Law matters set in Department 11” - the review task asks whether the other family law departments accept it. The page's instructions print an example case number for the portal's case number field (an ascending run of digits, not a case before the court); the summary leaves it out.
