California court deadlines in LexFlow
The CCP and California Rules of Court deadlines LexFlow calculates from a triggering event, and what stays manual.
Sources
Court activity comes into a matter from a source you connect:
- CourtListener/RECAP: you add your own CourtListener key, and tracked dockets sync every hour.
- PACER: you connect your own PACER login.
- LexFlow court mail: forward court emails to your LexFlow court-mail address and LexFlow turns them into court events and hearings.
Deadline rule sets
LexFlow calculates the dates below from the triggering event. Every calculated date is shown for your review; check it against the court's own rules before you rely on it.
California (CCP)
- Answer to complaint — CCP 412.20
- Demurrer — CCP 430.40
- Notice of appeal — CRC 8.104(a)
- Discovery responses — CCP 2030.260
- Motion for new trial — CCP 659(a)
- Motion filing before hearing — CCP 1005(b)
How a date is calculated
You choose the triggering event, LexFlow applies the rule set of the matter's jurisdiction, and you preview the whole chain of dates before it is applied. A chain you applied can be rolled back.
What stays manual
Any court or jurisdiction outside these rule sets stays manual. Local court rules and judges' standing orders are yours to check. We do not treat an unsupported jurisdiction as covered.
