SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents losing critical case knowledge between graduating/departing legal clinic students and the incoming cohort by generating structured end-of-semester handoff memos.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-case transition memos: Produces a case handoff document per active case, including posture, pending deadlines, work completed, open issues, document pointers, and communications history.
  • Cohort summary: Generates an at-a-glance summary of all transitions for the semester, including urgency and unassigned cases.
  • Supervision-style routing: Supports the clinic’s supervision workflow so professor review happens according to the configured gate (formal queue, flagged checks, or lighter-touch), while still ensuring case-closing routes to professor review.

Quick Start

Run /semester-handoff to generate per-case handoff memos and a cohort summary for the end of the semester based on clinic deadlines, client communications logs, and the departing/incoming student roster.

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

To create legal clinic case handoff memos, you generate structured end-of-semester transition documents per active case by reading clinic profiles, deadlines, and client communications logs. This maps outgoing owners to incoming students and produces both per-case memos and a cohort summary.

What is included in a legal case transition cohort summary?

A legal case transition cohort summary provides an at-a-glance overview of all semester transitions, highlighting case urgency and identifying any unassigned cases. It pairs with per-case handoff memos that detail posture, pending deadlines, work completed, open issues, and document pointers.

Can I enforce professor supervision review before releasing case handoff memos?

Yes, you can enforce professor supervision review before releasing case handoff memos. The generation process supports clinic supervision workflows by routing documents through a configured review gate, utilizing a formal queue, flagged checks, or a lighter-touch approach for case-closing review.

Does generating end-of-semester handoff documents require mapping outgoing and incoming student owners?

Yes, generating end-of-semester handoff documents requires explicitly mapping outgoing to incoming student owners. This mapping ensures active cases are correctly assigned to the new cohort during the transition before the supervision review routing is enforced.

What is the best way to manage case transitions for a legal clinic at the end of a term?

The best way to manage case transitions for a legal clinic at the end of a term is to automate the generation of structured handoff memos and a cohort summary. This approach reads deadlines and client communications logs to prevent losing critical case knowledge between cohorts.
