/deadlines

1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md → jurisdiction, practice areas, warning-day cadence.
2. Use the workflow below.
3. Route by flag:
   • --add: capture case, type, description, due date, source, owner. Write to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/legal-clinic/deadlines.yaml. Check for duplicates first.
   • --report (default): cross-case rollup — overdue, next 3d, next 7d, next 14d; by owner; by practice area; unassigned flags.
   • --update [id]: modify fields; log note with date.
   • --complete [id]: mark done; confirm with student that work is actually filed/submitted.
   • --close [id]: close-without-completing; require rationale in notes.
4. Confirm any write before committing.

Deadlines

Purpose

A clinic's biggest operational risk is a missed deadline. Students carry multiple cases, work part-time, turn over every semester. Deadlines that live only in individual students' heads get dropped at handoff, get forgotten during finals week, get missed when a student unexpectedly withdraws from the clinic. This skill is the central operational record.
