SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates the time-consuming work of writing different case status updates for clients, internal stakeholders, courts, and funders using the same underlying matter facts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audience-aware drafting: Produces client-facing, internal managing-attorney, court-ready caption-format status reports, and funder monitoring updates from the case file.
  • Privacy-aware funder framing: Adapts content to funder monitoring conventions and flags/aggregates information where confidentiality obligations require it.
  • Jurisdiction and practice guidance: Incorporates office supervision standards from the CLAUDE configuration and optionally applies practice-area guidance from guides.

Quick Start

Run /legal-aid:status with the audience and case-id to generate the appropriate status summary for that reader, such as client status in the requested language.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate audience-specific case status reports from a single legal matter file?

Generate audience-specific case status reports by loading a single civil legal aid matter file and re-framing the same facts with the correct formatting, reading level, and supervision routing for each target reader. This produces tailored summaries for clients, managing attorneys, courts, and funders.

Can I produce plain language client updates and court-ready caption format reports from the same case file?

Yes, you can produce plain language client updates and court-ready caption-format status reports from the same case file. The system re-frames identical case facts to match the required reading level and formatting conventions for each distinct audience.

How do funder reporting updates handle confidentiality when adapting case file information?

Funder reporting updates handle confidentiality by adapting content to funder monitoring conventions and flagging or aggregating information where confidentiality obligations require it. This ensures sensitive matter details are protected while fulfilling funder monitoring requirements.

Does case status generation require supervision and plain-language standards from a configuration file?

Yes, case status generation requires loading supervision and plain-language standards from the CLAUDE.md configuration file. It optionally applies practice-area guides to ensure generated summaries meet office supervision and review queue expectations per audience.

What is the best way to draft civil legal aid status updates for managing-attorney briefings?

The best way to draft civil legal aid status updates for managing-attorney briefings is to route the matter file through the internal audience setting. This enforces appropriate supervision routing and review expectations while re-framing the facts for internal stakeholder consumption.

When should I not use automated status summaries instead of full funder reporting cycles?

You should not use automated status summaries for full funder reporting cycles, as this tool is designed for ad-hoc funder monitoring requests distinct from full reporting cycles. It serves update workflows like client check-ins and managing-attorney briefings rather than comprehensive reporting.
