Your choice depends upon the purpose of the date calculation. Determine whether you are counting forward or backward and make the appropriate selection.If the rule specifies "days", it will normally means "Calendar Days". Remember that Court Days excludes weekends and the holidays recognized in the selected Jurisdiction. Typically the procedural rule you are trying to simulate will specify the time period. Determine whether the time period is measured in calendar days, court days, weeks, months or years and select the applicable radio button on the screen.Enter the number of time increments you will be counting-.e.g, days, weeks, months, etc.-in the blank field directly below the date field.Just like a Trigger Date, this is the date upon which you will base your calculation: e.g., 30 days/weeks/months before or after the Start Date. Enter the Start Date in the Start Date field.Select a Jurisdiction from the Holiday Set dropdown list.Click the Docket Calculator shortcut in the upper right corner of the screen.Open the Docket Research screen from the Tools menu.To calculate a hypothetical deadline, using the holidays of a particular Jurisdiction: Whether to Roll Forward/Backward/Not at All-if the calculated deadline falls on a weekend or holiday recognized in the Jurisdiction, whether to force it forward to the next court date (a date that is neither a holiday nor a weekend) or backward to the previous court date or to accept the deadline calculation without regard to whether it lands on a court date.Whether to Count Forward or Backward-whether you are counting forward from the Start Date to calculate a future deadline or counting backward from the Start Date to determine the date of an action that must be taken a specified period of time before the Start Date.A Time Period-the number of calendar days, court days, weeks, months or years.A Start Date-the date on which you will base your calculation, the date of a hypothetical Trigger date.A Holiday Set-the list of holidays recognized in the Jurisdiction where the calculation will apply.To use this tool, you specify a hypothetical Trigger date and the same parameters DC uses when performing date calculations and DC will calculate the date of the resulting deadline. In performing a calculation, the Date Calculator uses the following terminology: This allows you to run through the calculations required by a particular procedural rule to determine a deadline without having to select a Trigger and perform a date calculation in DC. The Date Calculator tool allows you to simulate the calculation of a deadline in a particular Jurisdiction, employing the same computer logic that DC uses when calculating a deadline automatically based upon a Trigger.
