SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Legal clinic students must constantly produce status updates about the same case for very different readers — clients who need plain language, professors who need procedural posture and student assessment, and courts that require formal caption-format reports. Rewriting the same facts three ways is repetitive and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three audience modes: client (plain-language update at a configurable reading level), internal (procedural posture, upcoming deadlines, professor input needed, student assessment), and court (formal status report with caption, signature block, and certificate of service per local rules). - Supervision routing: Client-facing and court-ready drafts are automatically flagged for professor review per the clinic's supervision configuration, with AI-draft labels stripped before anything reaches the client. - Use Case: A student finishes a week of case work and runs /legal-clinic:status internal to brief the professor on progress, upcoming deadlines, and questions needing input, then runs /legal-clinic:status client to draft a plain-language update for the client. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate a client-facing status update from the current case notes using the status skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a client case status update in plain language?

Use the client audience mode, which produces a letter covering what happened, what happens next, what the client needs to do, and how to reach the clinic. It follows the plain-language reading-level standard from the clinic configuration, defaulting to 6th grade, and excludes legal analysis and jargon.

How do I brief my supervising professor on case progress?

Use the internal audience mode to generate a summary with procedural posture, work completed since the last check-in, upcoming deadlines in a table, items needing professor input, and a student assessment section. The assessment section is scaffolded but must reflect the student's own thinking.

Can this draft a court status report with proper caption format?

Yes, the court audience mode drafts a formal status report with caption, procedural history, current status, outstanding matters, proposed next steps, signature block, and certificate of service. The caption and local rule requirements must be verified against current court rules, and professor review is required before filing.

Does the skill send status updates directly to clients?

No. Client-facing drafts are flagged for supervision review per the clinic's configured workflow, and all internal review labels like [AI-ASSISTED DRAFT] must be removed before sending. Sending a client communication is treated as a consequential action requiring the supervision gate.

What are the limitations of automated legal status summaries?

The skill does not decide what to tell the client about bad news or case weaknesses, does not file anything with a court, and does not replace the student's own assessment in internal reports. Strategic decisions remain with the student and supervising attorney.
