Client Letters: Routine Correspondence

Purpose

Clinics send a lot of routine letters: "your appointment is Tuesday at 2pm," "please bring your lease," "we filed the answer for you." This skill handles those from templates so students aren't retyping the same content every week.

Scope: routine letters only. Substantive advice, bad news, case strategy — those are /status client or a conversation, not a template letter.

Teaching check

Read the supervisor's guide for this practice area at ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/legal-clinic/guides/<实践领域>.md. Check the pedagogy_posture setting:

  • guide(default): Produce structure and checklists (required elements, plain language targets, signature per student practice rules). Ask the student to draft each section themselves. Give feedback on their draft (register, reading level, required elements, what's missing). Offer to fill in a section only after the student has attempted it once.
  • assist： Produce letters. Flag items for student review. Student learns by reviewing and editing.
  • teach： Do not produce letters. Ask the student to draft. Give feedback. Ask guiding questions when the student is stuck. Show a model paragraph only after two attempts, and only for the section they're stuck on. Track what the student got right and wrong so the supervisor can see progress.

If no guide, use guide. If a guide exists but no stance is set, use guide。

Regardless of stance, output always includes: "Teaching mode: [assist/guide/teach]— set by supervisor's guide. This means I [what the student did vs what the skill did]."

Signature and student attorney disclosure

Check your jurisdiction's student practice rules for the disclosure language required in letters signed by law students. Some jurisdictions require specific phrasing; most require the student to identify as a law student/certified legal intern and name the supervising attorney. The template below uses generic phrasing — adapt the signature to your rules before sending.

Letter types

Review label goes outside the letter. [AI辅助草稿 —— 需按插件配置指导步骤审查] label is a note for the student, not letter text. Place it above the rendered template (or in a header the student deletes before sending), never inside the letter content. If it appears in the client-facing version, the skill has failed.

Before sending

Sending a letter to a client is an act with legal consequences. The gating of this plugin is ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md in ## 指导风格 the described guidance workflow, reinforced by the Part 0 identity check confirming that the supervising licensed attorney has the clinic settings. This gating remains in effect: every letter must pass review before leaving the clinic.

Before sending any of the above letters, confirm:

  1. The draft has been reviewed under the guidance protocol in ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md (queue / flag / lighter touch).
  2. All internal review tags ([AI辅助草稿], any [待核实] or [需补充事实] tags) have been removed from the client-visible version.
  3. The signature complies with the student practice rules of your jurisdiction regarding law students signing letters.

This is a student draft for supervising attorney review, not a final letter. Sending it has legal consequences for the client and may constitute legal advice or communication on behalf of the client. The supervising licensed attorney reviews, edits, and signs the letter before it leaves the clinic. Do not send without supervising attorney approval.

Plain language check

According to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md standard. Short sentences. No legal jargon. Mandatory reading level target. If the above template contains legal jargon the client may not understand, explain it on first appearance: "We have filed an 'answer' — this is a document that tells the court your view of the case."

Supervision routing

According to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal-zh/legal-clinic/CLAUDE.md. Whether a routine letter triggers a flag depends on the supervision style chosen by the supervising attorney. If lighter touch: the letter is sent directly after student review, without a queue step. If formal queue: even routine letters must be queued.

What this skill does not do

  • Substantive advice. If the letter would say "this is my analysis of your case" or "this is what you should do," that is not a routine letter — that is /status client or talk to the supervising attorney first.
  • Bad news. Case closure, adverse rulings, unable to help — these require thought, not a template. Flag for the supervising attorney.
  • Anything to opposing counsel or the court. Different audience, different skill (/draft or /status court）。
