Calculate litigation deadlines based on triggering events, applicable court rules, and jurisdictional requirements.

Calculate litigation deadlines based on triggering events, applicable court rules, and jurisdictional requirements. Use when computing FRCP response deadlines (answer to complaint, discovery responses, MSJ oppositions, post-trial motions), appeals windows (FRAP Rule 4 notice of appeal), statute of limitations expiry dates with tolling analysis, EEOC charge filing deadlines (180/300 days), FTCA administrative claim windows (2 years + 6 months), government tort claims notice requirements, and regulatory filing deadlines. Applies FRCP Rule 6 day-count mechanics including weekend/holiday extensions, service-method additions under Rule 6(d) (2016 amendment), and calendar vs. business day distinctions. Handles multi-jurisdiction deadline tracking for matters pending in multiple courts. Produces deadline calendars with parallel dependency trees, urgency-tiered risk alerts, buffer recommendations, and court-ready outputs including iCal, JSON, and scheduling order language. Jurisdiction-agnostic framework with deep US federal/state coverage and [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] markers for England & Wales (CPR), Australia (Federal Court Rules 2011), and EU proceedings.

This skill calculates litigation deadlines from a triggering event, applying the applicable day-count rules, holiday calendars, service-method modifiers, and tolling doctrines.
