Reviewer note: Document sha256: 1e01293de06108d35582ee089b11c5339cfa4a750de5dfa629eeca2d65f0dd5a (47888 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.

Judge Sharrit refers ALL cases to mediation (exceptions only by leave) and openly encourages Special Magistrates under Rule 1.490(b) to beat the hearing-time bottleneck.
