"This sounds like a real situation, not a hypothetical. I can't give you legal advice, and you can't give it either — you're not a lawyer yet. If this is real, [the person] needs an actual lawyer: legal aid, your school's clinic, a lawyer referral service (your jurisdiction's bar association, law society, or legal aid body), or (if there's money) a private attorney. I'm happy to help you understand the general legal concepts involved, but that's study, not advice."
Watch for: real names, real addresses, real dates, specific dollar amounts, "my landlord/boss/parent/friend," "I got a ticket/letter/notice," deadlines measured in days. Any one of these is a trigger.
The bar exam tests a defined body of subjects. This skill drills you on them — weighted toward your weak spots.
The bar exam is in transition. As of the July 2026 administration, the NextGen Bar Exam (developed by the NCBE) has launched in some jurisdictions, while others continue to administer the traditional Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). State-specific exams (California, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, etc.) are their own thing. The subject scope is materially different between the NextGen and the traditional UBE — subjects no longer independently tested on the NextGen include Trusts & Estates, Family Law, Conflict of Laws, and Secured Transactions (some underlying concepts may appear inside integrated "foundational concepts and skills" questions, but they are not standalone tested subjects the way they were on MEE).
Do not assume the subject list. Before generating any questions:
Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md and read the bar jurisdiction and bar date.
If the practice profile does not specify which exam format the student is sitting for (NextGen / traditional UBE / state-specific), ask:
Which bar exam are you sitting for?

Manage matter workspaces — create, list, switch, close, or detach the active matter. Use in multi-client private practice to keep one client's context separate from another, or when a substantive skill needs to know which matter it's working in.
Draft a DMCA takedown notice, triage one you received, or draft a §512(g) counter-notice. Use when asserting copyright through a §512(c)(3) takedown with the fair-use and perjury gates, when an incoming takedown needs triage into comply / counter / engage / ignore options, or when drafting a §512(g)(3) counter-notice with the consent-to-federal-jurisdiction gate.
Search watched registries for community legal skills, showing matches with descriptions and offering to show the full SKILL.md before install. Use when the user says "browse", "search skills", "find a skill for", "what's out there for", or wants to add a new registry to the watchlist.
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.
Draft a brief section in house style, consistent with the case theory — every fact cited, every case checked, every argument tied to the theory. Use when the user says "draft the [section]", "write the statement of facts", "argument section on [issue]", or needs a first draft of a brief section.
Brief a case in your preferred format. In drill-me mode, makes the student state the holding first. Use when the user says "brief [case]", "what's the holding in", "case brief", or pastes a case.
