SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Drafts routine civil legal aid documents faster by turning case notes plus office templates into a jurisdiction-formatted first version that staff can review and complete safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • First-draft document generation from templates: Produces initial pleadings and letters (e.g., eviction answers, protective order petitions, demand/debt validation letters, benefits appeals, asylum declarations, motions to vacate default judgments, FOIA/fair hearing requests) using practice-area templates from CLAUDE.md and optional office-uploaded templates.
  • Jurisdiction-specific formatting and guardrails: Applies local formatting elements like captions, service blocks, and signature lines, while refusing or routing when context is missing or conflicts are unresolved.
  • Safety for legal workflow: Flags missing required facts, marks uncertain language and citations for verification, propagates funder-restriction flags, and routes outputs through the organization’s supervision model.
  • Use cases: When a staffer needs a first draft for a pleading or client communication and must keep it clearly non-final for managing-attorney review.

Quick Start

Use the draft skill to create a first draft for an eviction answer by running a command like: "/legal-aid:draft eviction-answer [case-id]".

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a first draft for civil legal aid documents from case notes?

To generate a first draft for civil legal aid documents, the Skill extracts required facts from case intake notes and applies them to practice-area templates loaded from CLAUDE.md, producing a jurisdiction-formatted pleading marked for attorney review.

What types of legal pleadings and letters can I draft automatically?

You can draft automatic legal pleadings and letters including eviction answers, protective order petitions, debt validation letters, benefits appeals, asylum declarations, motions to vacate default judgments, FOIA requests, and fair hearing requests.

Can I use my own office templates with this civil legal aid drafting workflow?

Yes, you can use optional office-uploaded templates alongside the default practice-area templates from CLAUDE.md to generate a first draft that aligns with your organization's specific document formatting requirements.

How does the drafting process handle missing case facts or uncertain legal citations?

The drafting process handles missing facts and uncertain citations by refusing to guess, instead flagging the specific text with FACT NEEDED, VERIFY, or UNCERTAIN markers and routing the document to supervision for final review.

Does legal document drafting enforce funder restrictions and conflict checks?

Yes, legal document drafting enforces funder restrictions and conflict checks by propagating funding-restriction flags across the generated text and routing the output through your organization's supervision model when context is missing or conflicts are unresolved.

When should I not use automated first-draft generation for civil pleadings?

You should not use automated first-draft generation when required case facts are unavailable, when context is missing, or when unresolved legal conflicts exist, as the system will refuse to draft and route the case to supervision instead.
