Reviewer note: Harvested from the circuit's public Sanity dataset (project xf5z3ibd, dataset production), which is the same store the site itself renders from. Only mandatory-language sentences are reproduced. | 2026-08-03: the source (rendered DOM (headless Chromium)) no longer contains this rule's quoted text; dropped to medium pending re-composition against the current version. | 2026-08-03: source_url repaired from the site root to the judge's own page, whose route payload answered live. | 2026-08-03: quoted text verified present in the judge page route payload; high restored after the source_url repair. | 2026-09-05 (audit 2026-09-04 M2/M10): re-homed from the completeness-sweep twin john-simon-1st (Okaloosa) to john-f-simon-jr - the First Circuit's own roster lists John Simon, Chief Judge, Escambia County; title normalized to the fl1-pref pattern. Verbatim from this officer's published practice preferences, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. [moved from the text 2026-09-14]
