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: the judge page for this preference rule no longer answers on the site (page-data 404) - the judge may have left the bench; stays medium pending roster reconciliation. [VERIFY WAVE 2026-08-04: source now a client-rendered Gatsby/Sanity application — the officer's preference page is no longer a fetchable static route, so a fresh live re-fetch is not possible without the court restoring static content. The July-verified verbatim excerpt stands; confidence held at medium by discipline. Named source-architecture reason, not a silent gap.] [RECOMPOSED VERBATIM 2026-08-04 (campaign wave, Gatsby data channel): the court rebuilt its site as a client-rendered app; content re-fetched from the site's own static page-data JSON (https://www.firstjudicialcircuit.org/page-data/legal-professionals/judges/lacey-powell-clark/page-data.json, sha256 627d3ff944c03471b655a49d968cdde065567c8f81d6b0df5740444ed425dc6d), verified by a second independent fetch; 5 bullet(s) quoted whole.] Whitespace repaired 2026-09-09 (fix program 2026-09-09, Phase 5, audit M7): a space restored after the period in 1 sentence join(s) left by the text layer; wording unchanged. Verbatim from this officer's page on the court's own site (https://www.firstjudicialcircuit.org/legal-professionals/judges/lacey-powell-clark), harvested 2026-08-04 from the site's static content channel; each bullet is quoted whole, whitespace normalised only.
