The procedural rules for most courts add a specified number of days to respond to deadlines based upon service type. When service type is a consideration in a deadlines' calculation, DocketCalendar automatically factors this into the calculation. We refer to this as Service Type Offset. If you want to review what the Service Type Offset is for a particular court, Click the Docket Research button

• Personal or In hand--Usually no offset
• Electronic--Usually no offset
• By Fax--Usually no offset
• Service by Mail on a Party Outside the State--usually an offset.
• Express or Overnight--Usually an offset
• Regular Mail--Usually an offset

DC automatically takes these offsets into consideration when you perform docket calculations. The Service Types tool accessible from the Docket Research screen, allows you view the offsets prescribed in a particular Jurisdiction.

To view a list of Service Type Offsets:

1. Click the Research Console Button and click on the Service Types tab.
2. Choose a case with the Jurisdiction whose Service Type offsets you wish to view from the Jurisdiction dropdown box.
3. Click the Get Service Types button

DocketCalendar will display a list of the Service Types for the Jurisdiction and the number of days, if any, of the applicable offsets.
