1Court Directory

List the court deadline types 1Court can calculate for a jurisdiction. Available ids: TX; CA (civil), CA-FAM (family), CA-PROB (probate), CA-UD (unlawful detainer), CA-SC (small claims), CA-GOV (government claims), CA-APP (appeals and writs); US (federal civil and appellate), US-BK (bankruptcy). Add county (California superior court, e.g. los-angeles) or court (cacd, cand, casd, caed for US; cacb, canb, casb, caeb for US-BK) to include local rules. Returns each deadline with the governing rule citation for each. Use before calculate_deadline to get valid deadline_type ids.
