SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps supervising solicitors or barristers create practice-area guides that control how student-facing clinic skills behave, including intake questions, teaching posture, review gates, and jurisdiction-specific rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supervisor-authored practice-area configuration: Produces a per-practice-area markdown guide that student-facing skills read to decide what to ask, how to respond, and when to escalate.
  • Pedagogy posture tuning: Sets teach/guide/assist behavior globally and can override it by document type (e.g., client letters vs internal memos).
  • Review gates and supervision safety: Encodes which work products require supervisor sign-off before anything is sent or filed, including non-negotiable gates for substantive advice and court/tribunal facing communications.
  • Cross-plugin supervision checks: Wraps selected skills from other UK legal plugins so uncertainty and sign-off requirements are surfaced for the supervisor.

Quick Start

Use /legal-clinic-uk:build-guide with your practice-area name to generate or revise the supervisor guide that students will follow for intake, drafting posture, and review gates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure student-facing legal clinic workflows for a specific practice area?

Configuring student-facing legal clinic workflows requires authoring a practice-area guide that defines intake prompts, pedagogy posture, and supervision review gates tailored to your jurisdiction's court and tribunal rules.

What are review gates in legal clinic supervision?

Review gates in legal clinic supervision are mandatory sign-off rules encoded in a practice-area guide, ensuring substantive advice and court-facing communications require supervisor approval before students can send or file documents.

How do I set teaching posture for different document types in a university law clinic?

Teaching posture for different document types is set by tuning global teach, guide, or assist behaviors in the practice-area configuration, which can be overridden per document type such as client letters versus internal memos.

Can I enforce cross-plugin checks for UK legal clinic skills?

Cross-plugin checks are enforced by wrapping selected UK legal skills within the practice-area guide, which surfaces uncertainty and sign-off requirements directly to the clinic supervisor for review.

Does legal clinic configuration require reading supervisor role and clinic profile data?

Legal clinic configuration requires reading the supervisor role and clinic profile configuration files to accurately tailor student workflows and apply per-practice-area jurisdiction rules before writing the guide.

When do I need to write a per-practice-area guide for UK legal clinics?

Writing a per-practice-area guide for UK legal clinics is needed when supervisors must tailor student intake questions, drafting posture, and escalation rules to specific court or tribunal jurisdictions.
