--- name: status-bossmann007 title: /status description: Case status summary by audience — client-facing (plain language), internal (for the professor), or court-ready (formal caption format per local rules). Same facts, different framing and depth. Use when a student needs to update the client, brief the professor, or prepare a court status report. author: Bossmann007 author_url: https://github.com/Bossmann007/claude-legal-br/tree/main/legal-clinic/skills/status license: Apache-2.0 version: 0.1.0 execution_mode: open jurisdiction: br practice: litigation language: en --- # /status 1. Load `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md` → supervision style, plain-language standards, jurisdiction. 2. Use the workflow below. Read case notes. 3. Generate for the specified audience: - `client` — plain language, what happened/next/you do/reach us - `internal` — procedural posture, done since last check-in, upcoming, needs professor input, student's assessment - `court` — formal status report in caption format per local rules 4. Supervision routing per audience (client-facing and court-ready usually flag). ``` /legal-clinic:status client ``` ``` /legal-clinic:status internal ``` ``` /legal-clinic:status court ``` --- # Status: Audience-Aware Case Summaries ## Purpose Clinics generate enormous numbers of status updates — to clients, to professors, to co-counsel, to courts. Same case, same facts, completely different documents. This skill takes the case notes and produces the right summary for the right reader. ## Load context `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md` → supervision style, plain-language standards (for client-facing), jurisdiction. Case notes for facts. ## Audience modes ### Client-facing **Reader:** The client. Probably stressed. Possibly unfamiliar with legal process. Reading level per `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md` plain-language standards (default 6th grade). **Include:** - What's happened since they last heard from the clinic - What's happening next and when - What (if anything) they need to do - How to reach the clinic **Don't include:** - Legal analysis (they don't need to know the IRAC) - Weaknesses in their case (unless it's time to have that conversation — and that's a call for the professor, not a status update) - Jargon *Review label for the student (not for the client — strip before sending):* `[AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — requires student review and supervision step per plugin config]` Check the clinic's student-practice authority (o convênio do NPJ com a Defensoria Pública, o Provimento OAB sobre estágio de prática forense, ou a regra local aplicável) for required estagiário sign-off language; some seccionais/varas require specific forms. `[review]` ```markdown Dear [Client], I wanted to update you on your case. **What's happened:** [Plain English. "We filed your answer with the court on [date]" not "The responsive pleading was submitted."] **What's next:** [What and when. "The court scheduled a hearing for [date] at [time]. You need to be there." Or: "We're waiting for the landlord's lawyer to respond. That could take a few weeks."] **What you need to do:** [Specific and clear. Or: "Nothing right now — we'll let you know when we need something from you."] **How to reach us:** [Clinic phone, hours, student name] [Student name] Estagiário(a) de Direito — Núcleo de Prática Jurídica (NPJ) Sob a supervisão de [Advogado(a) Supervisor(a)], OAB [nº/seccional] [Clinic name] ``` **Before sending:** sending a client status update is a consequential action. The gate is the supervision workflow in `## Supervision style` in `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md`, reinforced by the Part 0 role check confirming a licensed supervising attorney owns the setup. Confirm the draft has been reviewed per the supervision protocol (queue / flag / lighter-touch) and all internal review labels (`[AI-ASSISTED DRAFT]`, `[VERIFY]`, etc.) have been removed from the client-facing copy. ### Internal (for the professor) **Reader:** The supervising professor. Knows the law. Wants to know where the case stands and what the student needs from them. **Include:** - Procedural status (where in the life of the case) - What's been done since last check-in - What's coming up (deadlines, hearings) - Issues needing professor input - Student's assessment (how it's going, concerns) ```markdown # Status: [Client] — [Matter] — [date] **Student:** [name] | **Procedural posture:** [pre-filing / answer filed / discovery / motion pending / etc.] ## Since last check-in - [What's been done] ## Upcoming | Date | What | Action needed by | |---|---|---| | [date] | [deadline/hearing] | [date] | ## Needs professor input - [Question or decision point — specific] ## Student's assessment [How it's going. Strengths, concerns, strategic questions. This is where the student's thinking shows.] --- [AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — student should revise the assessment section especially; that's your thinking, not a summary of notes] ``` ### Court-ready **Reader:** A judge or clerk. Formal. Specific to what the court needs (often a status report ordered by the court, or a statement in advance of a status conference). **Include:** - Procedural history (briefly) - Current status of the instrução probatória / pending petições/incidentes / conciliation or acordo - What's outstanding - Proposed next steps or scheduling **Format:** Per the comarca's rules and the CPC. Endereçamento (juízo/vara), qualificação das partes, and signature block. `[review]` ```markdown ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ AI-ASSISTED DRAFT — requires student analysis and attorney review Court filings ALWAYS require professor review before filing ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ [Endereçamento ao juízo/vara + qualificação das partes — VERIFY against current CPC / local rules] PETIÇÃO DE INFORMAÇÃO SOBRE O ANDAMENTO DO PROCESSO [Parte] respeitosamente informa o andamento do feito [em cumprimento à determinação de [data] / nos termos do art. [X] / previamente à audiência designada para [data]]. 1. Breve histórico processual: [brief] 2. Situação atual: [fase da instrução / petições ou incidentes pendentes / estado da conciliação/acordo] 3. Pendências: [what's pending] 4. Requerimentos / próximos passos: [designação de audiência, prazos, se o juízo solicitar manifestação] [Bloco de assinatura — estagiário(a) sob a supervisão de [Professor(a)/ Advogado(a) Supervisor(a)], OAB [nº/seccional]] --- [VERIFY: endereçamento, requisitos do CPC/regras da comarca para a manifestação, forma de protocolo (PJe/e-SAJ) — per current [Court] rules] ``` ## Supervision routing Per `~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md`: - Client-facing → usually a flag trigger (client communication) - Internal → no flag (it's going to the professor anyway) - Court-ready → always flagged if formal queue enabled (court filings) ## What this skill does NOT do - **Decide what to tell the client.** Especially on bad news or case weaknesses — that's a conversation for the student and professor to have, then the student to have with the client. Status updates are status, not strategic advice. - **File anything with a court.** Drafts the document; professor reviews; filing per clinic procedure. - **Replace the student's assessment in internal status.** The "student's assessment" section is the student's thinking — the draft can scaffold it but can't write it. ## Close with the next-steps decision tree End with the next-steps decision tree per CLAUDE.md `## Outputs`.
