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.

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.
~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → supervision style, plain-language standards (for client-facing), jurisdiction.
Case notes for facts.
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).

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 your jurisdiction's student practice rule for required law-student sign-off language; some jurisdictions require specific forms.
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]
Law Student, Certified Legal Intern
Under the supervision of [Supervising Attorney]
[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.
Reader: The supervising professor. Knows the law. Wants to know where the case stands and what the student needs from them.
Include:
# Status: [Client] — [Matter] — [date]
**Student:** [name] | **Procedural posture:** [pre-filing / answer filed /
discovery / motion pending / etc.]
## Since last check-in
