## Source rules

- NCBE UBE and non-UBE fee/deadline charts provide the all-jurisdiction baseline.
- California, Florida, Idaho, and Maine include extra state-source verification where official state pages publish more detail.
- If NCBE and a state page disagree, the row uses the state source and preserves the NCBE baseline in notes.
- No unofficial fee tables are used as evidence.
