SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Semester transitions in a legal clinic cause critical case knowledge to be lost when departing students leave, forcing the incoming cohort to relearn facts, deadlines, and client history from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-case transition memos: Produces a structured handoff memo per active case, including pending deadlines, what’s been done, what’s open, communications history summary, professor flags, and first-week priorities.
  • Cohort-wide summary: Generates a single cohort summary table that highlights transitions, urgency, unassigned incoming owners, and deadlines within 30 days of semester start.
  • Supervision model routing: Routes memos through the clinic’s configured supervision style (e.g., formal review queue vs. lighter-touch flags) so sign-off expectations are consistently reflected.

Quick Start

Run semester-handoff for the current term, letting it generate per-case handoff memos and a cohort summary from the clinic’s deadlines, client-comms logs, and your active-case/owner list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate legal clinic case handoff memos for departing students?▼

What is a case handoff memo and what information should it include?▼

A case handoff memo captures pending deadlines, completed actions, open tasks, communications history summary, professor flags, and first-week priorities to transfer case knowledge during semester transitions in a legal clinic.

Can I route handoff memos through a formal professor review queue?▼

Yes, you can route handoff memos through a formal professor review queue or lighter-touch flags by enforcing sign-off expectations based on the clinic's configured supervision style.

Does this approach work for tracking deadlines within 30 days of semester start?▼

Yes, this approach works for tracking deadlines within 30 days of semester start by generating a cohort-wide summary table that highlights urgency, unassigned incoming owners, and upcoming deadlines.

What do I need to set up before automating client communications handoffs?▼

Before automating client communications handoffs, you must load a clinic profile, deadlines.yaml, and per-case client-comms log files to ensure accurate transition memo generation and routing.

When should I not use automated case offloading for a legal clinic?▼

You should not use automated case offloading when semester transitions do not involve changing case owners, or when deadline management and supervision workflow routing are not required for departing cohorts.
