deadlines

Track legal clinic case deadlines by centralizing adds, updates, completion, and closure into a single operational ledger with configurable warning thresholds. It generates cross-case reports grouped by assignee and practice area, surfacing overdue items and upcoming due windows.

Check due date reasonableness using jurisdiction-aware plausibility guardrails that perform rough reasonableness checks against jurisdiction-specific plausibility bands. The system explicitly avoids performing legal deadline calculations, serving only as a plausibility reference.

Generate workload reports by creating horizon-based overview reports that group deadlines by assignee and practice area. These reports surface both overdue items and upcoming due windows, providing centralized visibility for clinic operations.

Persist deadline records in a deadlines.yaml ledger file. The system also requires reading jurisdiction and warning cadence configuration from a local CLAUDE.md context file to operate correctly within clinic workflows.

Manage the deadline lifecycle during student transitions by using clinic workflow integration features. The system works with intake, draft, status, and handoff flows, using prefilled details and carrying active deadlines forward across transitions.

Close case deadlines that no longer apply by stating explicit closure reasons. The lifecycle management features allow updating fields with dated notes and marking completed work with confirmation, maintaining a persistent audit trail in the ledger.
