Registered Search Report: Testing the Claim of Priority for a Registered Commitment to AI-Assisted Case Handling with Client Consent

An official search bound to a preregistration timestamped on the OSF (osf.io/emr29 · DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/EMR29, 17 September 2026). The protocol was frozen first; the search was run afterwards, bound to six locked keywords, none altered to follow the results. Finding: across all sources searched (OSF, Zenodo, SSRN, firm websites, bar-association guidance), no law firm was found to have openly registered a comparable, timestamped commitment. The claim is stated within its honest bound: "within this registered search, as of 17 September 2026, with the frozen sources and keywords, no law firm was found to have registered a comparable commitment" — dated, limited, and open to rebuttal.
