# SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal overview

> **Documentation context:** Front-End Application Component
> **Documented via:** LegalMaintenance (LegalMaintenance\LegalMaintenance.vbproj)

`SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal` is the application-layer library consumed directly by the LegalMaintenance web application to resolve legal-case context, apply confidential-claim security, orchestrate LegalNet business objects, and expose manager-oriented workflows to the UI.

## Purpose
- Provide screen-facing manager classes for legal maintenance, request, schedule, search, summary, and reporting workflows.
- Combine claim context, legal-case context, AD-resource gating, business-object saves, and a small amount of direct Oracle lookup SQL into one UI-friendly layer.

## Responsibilities
- Resolve and retain legal-case context.
- Apply confidential-claim and exposure gating before data is shown.
- Load and cache lookup collections used by LegalMaintenance and LegalNet workflows.
- Coordinate writes, tasks, letters, Appworx submission, and DEF notification side effects.

## Key components
- `LegalManagerBase`: shared context, security, code-table, letter, and consolidated-case logic.
- `clsAttorneyTableManager`, `clsLegalPersonManager`, `clsHearingLocationManager`, `clsMaintenanceManager`: LegalMaintenance-facing maintenance managers.
- `LegalNet\cls*Manager` types: additional request, schedule, outcome, reporting, and search workflows compiled into the same assembly.
