And as you know, the branch 177 is outside Garden, so it's jurisdiction is not Tokiwadai.

That's correct. Even according to Index volume 8 and 13, the branch is directly related to school:

After walking on the icy and hard plastic floor for a while, one could see a door with a signboard. The words on the signboard read ‘Judgement 177th Branch’.

It's a bit inconsitent with anime and manga (for example chapters 47 (8), 54 (26), 56 (19), 57 (14)...) as they show it as separate building.
Later in anime (big spider arc) it was shown that they have to get permission if they want to investigate in different area.
