  • Mail service adds 3 calendar days to response periods (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 1314)
  • Response to motion for summary judgment: 15 days (La. Code Civ. Proc. art. 966)
  • Louisiana legal holidays toll deadlines; next court day rule applies

You found the deadline. Now what?

The calculator is free. Drafting the actual answer, motion, or response — and tracking the deadline so it doesn’t slip — is what wins or loses your case.
