Forensic Competency Opinion Analyzer
Transform clinical assessment data into legally-defensible competency opinions
What You Can Do
Systematically integrate psychological and psychiatric assessment results into comprehensive, legally-sound forensic competency opinions. Claude guides you through evidence-based reasoning to address the specific legal standards applicable to your jurisdiction, helping you organize clinical findings into clear, defensible conclusions about cognitive, functional, and volitional capacities relevant to the legal question at hand.
Features
Structures clinical assessment data (cognitive testing, psychiatric interviews, behavioral observations) into domains aligned with legal competency standards (trial, sentencing, Miranda, testamentary, etc.)
Builds defensible logical connections from raw assessment data to clinical opinions to specific legal conclusions, following forensic best practices and jurisdictional standards
Adapts reasoning to applicable legal standards for competency (federal vs. state, trial vs. sentencing, civil vs. criminal) with references to relevant case law and statutes
Systematizes test scores, diagnostic impressions, collateral information, and behavioral observations into coherent narratives that support clinical-legal conclusions
Highlights potential weak points, alternative interpretations, and limitations in your assessment to help you anticipate and prepare for expert testimony challenges
Connects diagnostic findings to specific functional deficits (understanding, reasoning, appreciation, expression) critical to competency determinations
Generates clear, professionally-written opinion sections that distinguish between clinical observations, expert interpretation, and ultimate legal conclusions
Example Output
Example 1: Competency to Stand Trial Opinion
Structured Analysis:
- Attention/Concentration: WAIS-IV Processing Speed 65 (1st percentile) → functional impact on courtroom proceedings
- Understanding: Psychoeducational testing shows 4th-grade reading level; explained Miranda rights at 2nd-grade comprehension level
- Reasoning: Difficulty with temporal reasoning; cannot sequence trial events; limited understanding of consequences
- Communication: Expressive deficits prevent meaningful attorney-client communication
Opinion: Based on cognitive limitations and poor functional capacity across multiple domains, defendant meets criteria for incompetency to stand trial. Specific deficits prevent meaningful participation in defense.
Example 2: Sentencing Mitigation Opinion
Structured Analysis:
- Neuropsychological deficits: TBI history with documented executive function impairment (WCST: 12th percentile)
- Psychopathology: Borderline Personality Disorder features; impulsivity and limited behavioral control
- Environmental factors: Childhood trauma, inadequate education, substance abuse history
Opinion: Clinical findings indicate significantly reduced volitional capacity at time of offense. Neurological and psychiatric conditions substantially impaired judgment and impulse control, warranting consideration in sentencing.
What's Included
- Competency Assessment Framework: Step-by-step guide to organize clinical data around legal competency domains (understanding, reasoning, appreciation, communication) with domain-specific examples
- Jurisdiction Reference Guide: Templates and case law citations for federal competency standards and summaries of major state variations (trial, sentencing, plea, Miranda competencies)
- Clinical-Legal Translation Prompts: Specialized prompts that translate psychological constructs (IQ scores, diagnostic criteria, neuropsych results) into functionally-relevant legal language
- Opinion Drafting Workflow: Structured process from raw assessment data → clinical summary → functional analysis → legal opinion statement with clear reasoning chains
- Cross-Examination Preparation Tool: Guidance on identifying limitations, alternative interpretations, and potential vulnerabilities in your opinion before testimony
- Quality Assurance Checklist: Verification steps ensuring your opinion meets ethical standards, legal requirements, and forensic best practices
