What problem does it solve?

Deadlines are easy to miss during clinic turnover and student workload changes, and when they are missed the supervising attorney bears the risk; this Skill maintains the operational deadline record and surfaces what needs attention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add and maintain a deadline ledger: Create deadline entries with case linkage, practice area, type, due date/time, source, and owner, including duplicate detection and audit-ready updates.
  • Generate cross-case deadline reports: Produce an overdue and upcoming-horizon rollup grouped by owner and practice area, including unassigned flags, on demand.
  • Update, complete, or close matters explicitly: Modify deadline fields with dated notes, mark deadlines complete with confirmation that work was actually filed/submitted, or close-without-completing with required rationale.

Quick Start

Use the deadlines skill to get the current overdue and upcoming deadlines report for today by asking: "Show me the deadline report."

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

Track legal case deadlines by maintaining a yaml ledger that links entries to cases, practice areas, owners, and due dates. This generates cross-case reports and surfaces overdue items so supervising attorneys can triage workload effectively.

Can I generate a deadline report grouped by owner and practice area?

Yes, you can generate a deadline report grouped by owner and practice area on demand. The report produces an overdue and upcoming-horizon rollup that flags unassigned deadlines to ensure no critical legal deadline is missed.

How do I close a legal deadline without completing the required work?

To close a legal deadline without completing it, you must provide a required rationale. This closed-without-completing workflow ensures audit-ready accountability and documents why the deadline was not fulfilled for supervising review.

Does this deadline tracker automatically compute local-rule due dates?

No, this deadline tracker does not autonomously compute local-rule due dates. It applies configurable warning cadences and requires jurisdiction-aware loading of clinic configuration to manage the operational deadline record without calculating statutory dates.

What is the best way to handle legal deadline handoff during semester turnover?

The best way to handle legal deadline handoff during semester turnover is maintaining a yaml ledger with continuity workflows. This supports workload visibility and dated notes so incoming staff can immediately see upcoming and overdue deadlines by owner.

How do I mark a legal deadline as complete with audit-ready confirmation?

Mark a legal deadline complete by confirming the actual work was filed or submitted. This explicit completion workflow requires confirmation that the filing occurred, creating an audit-ready record with dated notes for supervising attorneys.
