SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It prevents clinic and student teams from missing critical case deadlines by keeping a shared operational ledger, producing clear rollup reports, and surfacing warning states before items become overdue.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add and maintain a deadline ledger: Create deadline entries with case, type, source, due date, and owner, while guarding against duplicates.
  • Rollup reporting across cases: Produce cross-case deadline views by time horizon (default 14/7/3/1 days), owner, and practice area, including unassigned items.
  • Lifecycle updates: Update due dates/fields, mark deadlines complete (with confirmation that work was actually filed/submitted), or close-without-completing with required rationale.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant: add a new clinic deadline for case X for type Y due on YYYY-MM-DD, include the source and the responsible student, and then generate the next 14-day deadline report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track legal case deadlines across a clinic workload?▼

You can track legal case deadlines by maintaining a clinic-wide ledger that records case, type, source, due date, and owner, while generating cross-case rollup reports by time horizon and owner.

How do I generate a deadline report for upcoming legal case obligations?▼

Generate a deadline report by requesting a cross-case rollup view filtered by time horizons like 14, 7, 3, or 1 days, owner, or practice area to surface upcoming and overdue obligations.

Can I prevent duplicate deadline entries when adding new case obligations?▼

How do I close a legal deadline without marking it complete?▼

You can close a deadline without completing it by providing a required rationale, which updates the ledger to reflect the item is closed without confirming the work was filed or submitted.

What is needed to configure jurisdiction plausibility bands for case deadlines?▼

Jurisdiction plausibility bands are optionally applied from reference files when available, requiring the assistant to read clinic configuration from CLAUDE.md and persist records to deadlines.yaml.

Yes, the deadline ledger supports legal clinic operations like student workload tracking, supervising-attorney oversight, and semester handoff continuity for upcoming and overdue obligations.
