Operative status as recorded: LIVE_PAGE_CURRENT_AS_CRAWLED. Published during the 2026-07-24 completeness pass. SOURCE DRIFT MEASURED 2026-07-24: the page(s) these requirements were captured from have been edited since capture. A live re-read found 12 of 21 published requirements (57%) still present on 1 source page (/courts-judges/judge-meshon-t-rawls/judge-meshon-t-rawls-division-procedures/). The missing text may have been reworded, moved, or withdrawn — BenchPath does not guess which. Confidence LOWERED to medium until a human re-reads the source. Re-verify before relying on any single clause.
