Technology Planning for a University Law Clinic

A clinic's technology needs to support supervised work and the transfer of responsibility as students join, change roles and leave.

Practical planning considerations for this type of project. The scope and checks depend on the firm, its information and the systems involved.

Design around supervision

Map how enquiries, instructions, tasks and documents reach the responsible supervisor. Make review and approval steps clear in the workflow rather than assuming that access to the system establishes authority to act.

Review permissions and shared material

Define student and supervisor roles, permitted access and where working documents are held. Test representative matters and review the information-handling requirements relevant to the clinic.

Plan the transition between cohorts

Assign owners for active work and check that successors can access the material they need. Include system access changes, training and unresolved tasks in a deliberate handover process.
