Methodology

Calculator questions

Before you use a result

Deadline Engine calculates the court and procedural deadlines listed on each jurisdiction page. The current catalog contains 4,871 deadline rules across 20 jurisdictions, led by US federal, bankruptcy and state rules. Each page shows what is included and what still needs checking.

Deadline Engine applies the selected rule and shows the citation and calculation steps. It is calculation software, not legal advice, so check the current source, any order and the facts of your case.

No account is needed to calculate a deadline or inspect the citation and counting steps. An account is only required to save and monitor cases with Professional.

Check the current rule, the selected trigger, any applicable court order, local requirements and the facts of the case. The result explains the encoded calculation but does not decide whether the rule applies.
