- Which court’s rules apply?
BRON reads the court, jurisdiction and matter type together, and stops if they conflict.
- Service
- How was the paper served?
The method decides the extension, and each forum adds it in its own order.
- Closures
- Which days close this court?
The calculation names the holiday calendar it used, so you can check it.
The calculation goes to counsel for review. It does not put anything on the calendar.
Illustration · fictional matter · no action has been taken Confirm it, then export it.
A licensed attorney confirms the date before it is calendared. Until then, it is a task. Confirmed dates export as .ics files for your own calendar.

What this carries into the rest of the matter
- The confirmed date, with its rule and trigger, on the matter's calendar and in Your Day.
- If the service method, trigger or forum behind a confirmed date changes, BRON proposes a recalculated date. It never moves the date itself.
One decision in practice
A corrected proof brings the date back for review.
BRON does not move a confirmed date by itself.
The rule, the forum and the count are shown again for counsel to check.
Your next decision
Decide whether to accept the recalculated date. Until you do, the calendar keeps the date you confirmed.
