Sending this does not create an attorney-client relationship. What I send is reviewed first only to the extent needed to check conflicts, is not confidential until an engagement is agreed in writing, and I should not send privileged material before then.

Read by John P. Henry. An AI service under a commercial agreement extracts and summarises submissions so they can be reviewed the same day. It does not train on what is sent, and the provider deletes inputs and outputs within thirty days. Nothing it generates is sent to you — every reply you get is written by a lawyer. Unretained submissions are deleted on a fixed schedule. If you are opposing counsel, or a party represented by counsel, do not use this form.
