# neurotyp-forensic: court-ready evaluation template

> Install and render the neurotyp-forensic extension for court-ready forensic psychological and neuropsychological evaluation PDFs for legal contexts.

The `neurotyp-forensic` extension produces evaluation reports formatted for forensic psychological and neuropsychological contexts — civil litigation, criminal competency evaluations, disability determinations, and other matters where a document may be submitted to a court or reviewed by legal professionals. The layout prioritises formal visual presentation: clean typography, explicit confidential headers, and a professional appearance appropriate for legal proceedings.

## Install the extension

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="New project">
    Scaffold a new project in an empty directory.

    ```bash theme={null}
    quarto use template brainworkup/neurotyp-forensic
    ```

    Use a referral- or case-keyed directory name such as `2025-atty-referral-001/` to distinguish forensic cases from clinical evaluations on disk.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Existing project">
    Add the extension to an existing Quarto project.

    ```bash theme={null}
    quarto add brainworkup/neurotyp-forensic
    ```

    Then update the `format` key in your `template.qmd`:

    ```yaml theme={null}
    format: neurotyp-forensic-typst
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Render a report

```bash theme={null}
quarto render template.qmd --to neurotyp-forensic-typst
```

To preview while editing:

```bash theme={null}
quarto preview template.qmd
```

To pull in the latest release:

```bash theme={null}
quarto update extension brainworkup/neurotyp-forensic
```

## Configure the report

Open `template.qmd` and complete the front matter for this referral.

```yaml theme={null}
---
title: FORENSIC NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
patient: Rivera
name: Rivera, Carlos
dob: "1985-11-22"
age: 39
doe: "2025-02-14"
doe2: "2025-02-15"
date_of_report: last-modified
case_number: "2025-F-008"
format: neurotyp-forensic-typst
---
```

<Note>
  Use a case number format that distinguishes forensic referrals from clinical
  cases — for example, prefix with `F-` — so reports are easy to identify in
  your practice management system.
</Note>

See [Front matter reference](/templates/front-matter) for a complete description of every field.

## Forensic-specific formatting

The `neurotyp-forensic` extension applies presentation choices appropriate for legal contexts:

* **Formal heading treatment** — section headings use conservative weight and spacing that reads clearly when printed or reproduced in legal filings.
* **CONFIDENTIAL header** — every page from page 2 onward displays the patient's last name and report date. This is especially important for multi-page forensic reports where pages may become separated.
* **Professional typography** — the same Equity B / IBM Plex Sans font stack as the other templates, chosen for legibility at small sizes and when photocopied.
* **A4 geometry** — 30 mm top, 25 mm sides, consistent with the other formats so report sections remain visually comparable if a court receives multiple evaluations.

<Warning>
  Forensic reports often have strict formatting requirements that vary by
  jurisdiction and by the referring attorney or court. Review your
  jurisdiction's requirements before finalising a report and consult with the
  referring party if in doubt. Luria Voice controls visual formatting only —
  content and professional standards remain your responsibility.
</Warning>

## Add evaluation sections

Edit `_domains_to_include.qmd` to include the sections relevant to this referral question.

```markdown theme={null}
{{< include _neurocognitive.qmd >}}
{{< include _memory.qmd >}}
{{< include _executive_function.qmd >}}
{{< include _attention.qmd >}}
{{< include _validity.qmd >}}
```

For forensic evaluations, performance validity and symptom validity sections are often critical. Include a dedicated validity partial and document validity test results explicitly.

See [Modular section partials](/templates/section-partials) for the full include pattern.
