Track Boundaries
- A track identifies a useful work category; it does not create an engagement.
- NLI does not replace counsel or another authorized professional.
- NLI does not file, advocate, decide, or guarantee an outcome.
- Incomplete, false, abusive, privileged, sealed, or restricted material may require refusal, correction, or termination.
Engagement and Pricing Route
Begin with inquiry and fit review.
The current fit-review estimate is $500–$1,000, subject to confirmation before payment or work. Project or retainer pricing depends on record volume and condition, urgency, forum, participants, professional coordination, deliverable complexity, public sensitivity, travel, and hard costs. No fixed track price is approved unless stated in a written scope.
