Civil-Rights Deadline Calculator
Most pro se civil-rights cases are lost not on the merits but on a missed deadline. This free calculator estimates the federal Section 1983 statute of limitations (which borrows each state's personal-injury deadline under Wilson v. Garcia), the state notice-of-claim window where one applies, and the roughly 30-day body-camera preservation cliff.
Browse civil-rights filing deadlines for every state and the District of Columbia:
