SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Status updates for clients, professors, and courts often require the same facts presented in very different tones, formats, and levels of detail, which leads to rework and formatting errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audience-aware drafting: Produces distinct versions for client, internal (professor), and court audiences using the same underlying case notes.
  • Correct content boundaries: Keeps client-facing updates plain-language and avoids legal analysis, while internal updates include procedural posture and student assessment, and court-ready output follows formal status-report structure.
  • Supervision-aligned workflow: Routes and flags drafts according to the clinic’s supervision rules, including explicit review gates for consequential client communication and court filings.
  • Caption/format support for court-ready: Structures a formal status report with placeholders for jurisdiction-specific caption and required verification language.

Quick Start

Use the status skill to draft an audience-appropriate case summary from your clinic case notes by running: /legal-clinic:status client

Frequently Asked Questions about status

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate audience-specific legal case status updates from the same case notes?

Audience-specific legal case status updates are generated by processing a single set of case notes into distinct drafts for clients, internal professors, and courts. This prevents rework and formatting errors by automatically adjusting tone and detail level for each target audience.

What is the best way to format a court-ready case status report with correct procedural posture?

A court-ready case status report requires formal structure with placeholders for jurisdiction-specific captions and verification language. It includes procedural posture and outstanding matters sections while aligning with local court expectations and supervision review gates.

How do I write a plain-language case status update for a legal clinic client without including legal analysis?

A plain-language case status update for a client is drafted by strictly keeping content boundaries that avoid legal analysis. The output uses accessible language for routine check-ins and upcoming-deadline communications while routing consequential drafts through supervision review gates.

Can I use a single workflow to draft internal supervision case notes and client legal status reports?

A single workflow can draft both internal supervision case notes and client legal status reports. The process routes and flags drafts according to clinic supervision rules, ensuring internal versions include student assessment while client versions remain plain-language.

When do I need to route a court-ready status report through a supervision review gate?

A court-ready status report must be routed through a supervision review gate whenever preparing formal status reports or consequential client communications. This supervision-aligned workflow ensures compliance with clinic configuration requirements before any filing or delivery.

What are the limitations of using automated legal status drafting for upcoming deadline communications?

Automated legal status drafting for upcoming deadline communications is limited by its reliance on provided case notes and clinic configuration rules. It does not independently perform legal analysis and requires explicit supervision review gates for consequential client communication and court filings.
