SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Producing client letters and updates in plain English that meet legal clinic sign-off and client care expectations, while keeping correspondence jargon-light and easy to read.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plain-language client correspondence: Creates routine or status update messaging without legalese, with clarity and appropriate tone for clients.
  • Migration-safe redirect: Indicates this workflow is deprecated and points to the newer, more focused skills for routine letters and substantive status updates.
  • Client-care sign-off alignment: Ensures outputs include the required sign-off identifying the student and supervising solicitor or barrister for SRA client care obligations.

Quick Start

Ask the agent for a routine correspondence letter using /legal-clinic-uk:client-letter or a substantive client update using /legal-clinic-uk:status client instead of invoking this deprecated skill.
