SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Semester changes cause critical case knowledge to walk out the door, so incoming students waste time relearning from files and intake summaries and clients experience avoidable delays and regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-of-semester per-case handoff memos: Creates a structured memo for each active case using deadlines, case history, and client communications logs.
  • Cohort-level transition summary: Produces a semester summary that lists transitions, urgency, and unassigned handoffs for professor oversight.
  • Supervision-aware routing: Routes handoff outputs to the appropriate review workflow based on the clinic’s configured supervision style.
  • Designed for clinic operations: Supports offboarding graduating/withdrawing cohorts and mid-semester transitions for individual students.

Quick Start

Run semester-handoff to produce per-case and cohort handoff memos for the ending semester by pulling deadlines and case communications from the clinic configuration directories.
