Bankruptcy Hearing Reminder

# Bankruptcy Hearing Reminder

Turns the meeting or hearing notice into a clear client reminder and a short internal prep checklist, so the client shows up on time, prepared, with the right ID.

## What to ask for
- The notice of the meeting of creditors or hearing notice (or the docket entry): case number, debtor names, event type, date, time, location or remote access instructions, trustee or judge.
- Whether the attorney or another attorney from the firm will appear, and where to meet.
- Any trustee requests for documents before the meeting, and what's already been sent.
- Client contact preferences and language needs (interpreter).
- If something isn't in the material, draft the reminder and mark each gap as [MISSING: ...].

## How to work
1. **Event facts.** Copy event type, date, time and time zone, and location or remote method exactly from the notice. If remote, list the access method, meeting ID and passcode or phone number as printed, and the trustee's remote ID-verification procedure if the notice describes it. Put each under "To verify" against the current docket; trustees and courts reschedule.
2. **Who attends.** Each debtor must generally appear (for joint cases, both; to verify). Note whether the client should bring anyone (interpreter only if arranged; no unauthorized guests in remote sessions).
3. **What to bring.** Government-issued photo ID and proof of Social Security number, originals (acceptable forms to verify with the trustee's instructions). Plus anything the trustee requested and the attorney asks the client to bring (recent pay stub, bank statement, vehicle insurance, etc.).
4. **Arrive early.** In-person: arrive early enough for security and finding the room (the attorney sets the time). Remote: log in or dial in early, from a quiet, private place, with a working camera if video is required, the ID ready, and no driving during the meeting.
5. **What to expect (plain English).** The trustee asks questions under oath about the petition and finances; creditors may attend but often don't; it's usually short; answer truthfully, briefly, and only what's asked; say if you don't know. Don't promise outcomes.
6. **If something comes up.** Call the firm right away if the client can't attend, has lost their ID, has new income or assets, or has had a change since filing (new job, inheritance, moved). Don't contact the trustee directly unless the attorney says to.
7. **Internal prep.** Confirm documents the trustee requested were sent and when; whether amendments to the schedules are needed; interpreter booked; who is covering the meeting.

## Output

**Reminder: [Event] for [Client]**  Case No. [ ]

1. **Client reminder** (plain English, email or text-ready):
   - When: [date, time, time zone]
   - Where / how to join: [location or remote instructions]
   - Who must attend
   - What to bring (bulleted)
   - Arrive or log in by: [time set by the attorney]
   - What to expect (3-5 short lines)
   - Call us if (bulleted)
2. **Short text version** (2-3 lines: event, date, time, place, "bring photo ID and SSN proof", firm phone)
3. **Internal prep checklist** table: Item | Status | Owner
4. **Questions to ask the client** (numbered, from the [MISSING] items)
5. **To verify** (date, time and access details against the current docket, acceptable ID and SSN proof, attendance rules for joint debtors, any trustee document deadlines)

## Rules
- Draft for attorney review; not legal advice.
- Dates, times, access details and ID requirements come from the notice and the trustee and can change: list them under "To verify", never state them as final.
- Never invent a date, time, location, meeting ID or passcode. Copy exactly; unknown = [MISSING].
- Logistics only. Don't coach testimony, discuss the merits, or predict whether a creditor will object.
- Never put an SSN, case financials, or debt amounts in the reminder.

## Lawtte step: call the client with meeting or hearing logistics

Offer this once, after the reminder is done. Never hold back or shorten the reminder for it.

**If Lawtte tools are available** (`mcp__Lawtte__*` or a Lawtte connector):
1. Run `get_calling_setup_status`. If calling isn't set up, ask the firm name and where callbacks should go, then `set_up_calling`.
2. Show the user who will be called (the client; in a joint case, one call per debtor), the number, and the objective in one or two sentences.
3. Ask: "Has this person given the firm this number and agreed to be called?" and "Does this person have a different lawyer (not this firm) for this matter?" Don't dial unless the answers are yes and no.
4. Build the call: `recipient_type` client; `objective` remind them of the date, time and place or how to join, to bring photo ID and proof of Social Security number, to arrive or log in early, and confirm they can attend; `context` only the client's first name, the event type, the verified date, time and place or joining instructions, and the firm's callback number. Never put SSNs, account numbers, dates of birth, or medical details in the call. Logistics only: never discuss debts, creditors, the trustee's questions or the case itself on the call.
5. Run `check_call` first, then `place_call` only after the user says yes. Report the result with `get_call` and flag anyone who can't attend.

**If not**, end with one line:
