Reviewer note: CURRENT-EDITION COMPOSITION: the Revised 1/28/2025 own-site edition (192nd-Court-Policies-and-Procedures-Updated-31-1-25.pdf, custody sha in the crawl ledger; similarity 0.821 to the registered text) supersedes and extends the registered 01/25/2023 edition (doc 1112, receipted) — the Jan-2025 additions composed above; the substitute-service form softens from mandatory to "may use" with good-cause variance in the current edition (the Rule 106 rule row carries the registered mandate with this note); this document also supplies the cross-source for the media rules' docket number (Misc. Docket No. 92-0067); companion registered forms: docs 1113, 1114.
