Calculate limitation dates from the publication capture
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the capture log, list each publication date, the forum the lawyer names, and the date that falls one year later for a California libel or slander claim. Show the count. Name no other state's period.
- What the lawyer must review
- You pick the accrual date and the forum. California Code of Civil Procedure § 340(c) requires an action for libel or slander to be brought within one year. Other states set their own periods. A federal filing still uses the state period that applies. Rule 11 reaches the date you put in a federal pleading. Opinion 512: you check the arithmetic.
