SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns raw legal clinic case notes into clear, audience-appropriate status updates, so students can reliably communicate what happened, what’s next, and what actions are needed without mixing in legal strategy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audience-specific output: generates three distinct formats for client, internal (supervisor/tutor), and court.
  • Consistent clinic workflow: loads the clinic guidance/config (language, tone, and jurisdiction) and uses case notes as the factual basis.
  • Safety and gating support: reinforces that student legal thoughts and internal assessments must not be sent to clients, and that court filings require supervisor review.

Quick Start

Use the status skill to produce a client-friendly update from the current case notes by running: /legal-clinic:status client

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

Generate audience-specific legal case status updates by loading clinic configuration and routing raw case notes into client, internal supervisor, or court submission formats. The output applies the correct formal or plain-language structure with required safety constraints.

Can I draft court submissions directly from legal clinic case notes?

Draft court submissions from legal clinic case notes by selecting the court audience mode to produce formal procedural timelines. Court filings generated require supervisor review and enforce safety gating to prevent unauthorized submission.

How do I create plain-language client communications for a legal clinic?

Create plain-language client communications by routing case notes through the client mode. This filters out internal legal strategy and student assessments, producing a clear update on recent developments, upcoming deadlines, and required actions.

What is the best way to brief a supervisor on a procedural timeline?

Brief a supervisor on a procedural timeline by using the internal audience mode to summarize case notes. This format highlights case milestones, drafting guidance, and procedural developments while keeping student legal thoughts separate from client communications.

Does this case status tool support different jurisdictions and tones?

The case status tool supports different jurisdictions and tones by loading the specific clinic configuration. It applies the designated language and formal constraints to the selected audience mode output.

How do I prevent legal strategy from leaking into client status updates?

Prevent legal strategy from leaking into client status updates through built-in safety gating. The client mode enforces structural constraints to ensure student legal thoughts and internal assessments are never sent to clients.
