Legal Writing

anthropics/claude-for-legalOfficial

This is structural feedback for legal memos, briefs, and papers, not a rewriting service. It reads your full draft, identifies the document type, then gives you organized critique on structure, analysis depth, and clarity without ever touching your prose. The core rule is hard: no rewrites, at most one or two labeled example phrasings per session to show a structural move, never substantive content. It tracks your patterns across sessions and flags anything it's unsure about with VERIFY tags. If you ask it to rewrite a paragraph, it refuses and offers more targeted feedback instead. The pedagogy is deliberate: you get better at legal writing by doing it, not by watching Claude do it for you.

Files

/legal-writing

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/CLAUDE.md → class, writing skill level, past feedback patterns.
  2. Apply the framework below.
  3. Read full draft top to bottom. Identify structural type (memo / brief / paper / essay).
  4. Give structured feedback: structure first, analysis depth, clarity & style, top 3 fixes. Flag [VERIFY] on any substantive rule call I'm unsure about.
  5. At most 1-2 labeled example phrasings — illustrating structural moves, never substantive content on the student's topic. Every example labeled "write yours — don't copy."
  6. If asked to rewrite: refuse gracefully. Offer targeted structural feedback instead.
  7. Append to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-legal/law-student/writing-feedback/[student]/tracker.md for pattern detection.

Purpose

Writing is how lawyers think on paper. You don't get better at it by having someone else write it for you. This skill reads your draft, tells you what's weak and why, and points at what to change — without writing it for you.
