There’s an old saying – "we learn from our mistakes." That’s decidedly not how you or your staff should learn the many pitfalls and hidden traps inherent in calculating California state court deadlines. Instead, you can save a lot of time, and even avoid malpractice, by learning from other people’s mistakes.
