SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of writing the right kind of case status update for different audiences without mixing the wrong level of detail, tone, or purpose.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audience-aware drafting: Produces three distinct formats—client-facing plain language, internal professor-oriented status, and court-ready formal caption-style status.
  • Structured procedural communication: Ensures the output covers what changed since the last check-in, what is coming next, and what actions (if any) the recipient must take.
  • Safety and supervision alignment: Applies the clinic’s supervision routing expectations, including explicit handling cues for student review and professor verification for formal/court-oriented drafts.

Quick Start

Generate a case status update for the specified audience using the clinic notes and CLAUDE configuration by running the command: /legal-clinic:status client

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate case status updates for different audiences in a legal clinic?

Case status updates are generated by loading clinic configuration context and translating case facts into audience-specific formats, producing plain language client summaries, internal professor briefings, and court-ready formal reports.

What is the best way to draft a court-ready procedural posture report for supervised review?

Court-ready procedural posture reports are drafted by applying clinic supervision routing expectations, generating formal caption-style status documents with explicit cues for student review and professor verification.

How do I write a structured client communication summary for a legal clinic case?

Client communication summaries are produced in plain language, structuring the output to cover what changed since the last check-in, what is coming next, and what actions the client must take.

Can I use clinic configuration to enforce required structure for case status briefing?

Yes, the case status briefing enforces required structure by loading the clinic context configuration, generating the correct format per audience hint, and routing supervision actions consistent with the configured workflow.

Does audience-aware legal drafting work without configuring supervision routing?

Audience-aware legal drafting applies the clinic's supervision routing expectations, requiring configured context to properly handle student review and professor verification for formal court-oriented drafts.

When do I need to produce multiple case status formats instead of a single update?

Multiple case status formats are needed when communicating the same facts to different audiences in legal clinic workflows, ensuring the correct level of detail, tone, and purpose for clients, professors, and courts.
