Note for reviewers

The contact form is fully accessible (labelled fields, keyboard operable, a focus-managed status message) and validates in the browser. It does not transmit anything in this prototype. The 415 East 12th Street address is the Court's real mailing location from the RFP; phone numbers and the Independence street address are intentionally left as placeholders rather than invented.
