This Skill helps law clinic students draft structured case analysis memos without prematurely producing legal conclusions, by turning messy facts into an IRAC outline with explicit research gaps.
Run the memo skill to generate an IRAC case analysis scaffold from your clinic intake summary and notes, leaving the student analysis and conclusion blocks for you to complete.

To scaffold an IRAC legal memo without writing the analysis, generate an outline that frames issues as questions and inserts RESEARCH NEEDED prompts while leaving [STUDENT ANALYSIS] and [STUDENT CONCLUSION] blocks blank, preserving student ownership of the educational work.
The best way to flag research gaps in a case analysis memo is to insert explicit RESEARCH NEEDED sections and unverified framework language within the IRAC rule blocks, prompting students to source the rules themselves during their drafting process.
Structuring an intake summary into IRAC blocks involves processing messy facts into an outline that creates separate IRAC sections for each identified issue, ensuring rules are sourced via research and application sections are authored by the student.
Yes, you can adapt memo scaffolding behavior by aligning with the pedagogy-mode posture defined in your clinic context file, adjusting the output based on whether the supervisor guide is set to guide, assist, or teach.
Yes, generating a case memo scaffold requires loading clinic practice-area context, including practice areas, jurisdiction, and pedagogy posture, from a CLAUDE.md file to ensure the IRAC framework aligns with specific clinic requirements.
The IRAC memo scaffold leaves application and conclusion sections blank by design so the educational work of applying rules to facts and drawing legal conclusions comes directly from the student, maintaining pedagogical integrity.
