Important Considerations When Calculating Court Deadlines
Court deadlines are governed by applicable procedural rules, court orders, and other requirements. Some deadlines require adjustments for weekends and legal holidays, while others involve special methods of counting days.
Before relying on a calculated date, review the applicable rules and independently verify the deadline.
Ultimately, a deadline calculator is a tool that assists in applying procedural rules, but responsibility for meeting filing deadlines always remains with counsel or the pro se party.
