Legal Memo Research Loop Agent

Legal memo assignments test research as much as writing, and students often stop searching too early. This agent helps the student frame the question, list search terms and jurisdictions, and plan which sources to search. The student does the searching and logs the authorities found. The agent checks each authority's jurisdiction, date and later history. It flags negative history and out-of-state cases when an in-state case exists. It then checks whether binding authority has been found; if not, it suggests new searches and checks again after the student logs more results. When a draft exists, it checks that the memo's citations match the research log. The student writes the memo and decides on its final form. Edge case: the student relies on a case from another state when an in-state case on point exists.
