EVERY DEADLINE

63 periods Alaska law measures, gathered out of the guide and put in order, shortest first. Each one says what starts it, whose period it is, and what the law attaches to it. The shortest here is 24 hours. The longest is 10 years.

Every period on this page is stated by a section of the guide and carries that section's own authority. None of it is a calculation: a period that turns on facts, on service, or on a court's discretion is described the way the section describes it and no further.
