5-Step Process for Computing Filing Deadlines (with 13 practice examples) - Module 0031

In today’s session, we will go over a five-step process and some basic rules that govern how to compute time periods which may be set forth in a rule, statute, or court order. More often than not, a litigant must compute these time periods for the purpose of determining a specific date and time by which a court filing is due. After discussing the 5-step process, we will look at 13 examples of how the computing rules work in practice. Let’s get started…
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6 (a) establishes the method for computing any time period found in the rules of civil procedure, in any local rule, in any court order, or in any statute that does not itself specify a method for computing time. If a party files a document after a deadline, the document is not usually considered effective. For a late filing to be valid, the filing party must have first secured an extension from opposing parties and / or the court. Therefore, correctly calculating deadlines is very important. There is a five-step process for calculating filing deadlines. Let's go over those five steps now:
