Simply put, a statute of limitations is a statute prescribing the time period during which legal action can be taken. This time period may vary from case to case, state to state, country to country, etc.

Each state has it's own state code. Usually you need two things:
1) The type of controversy (e.g. is it contractual, personal injury, malpractice, etc.)
2) The state in which it occurred.
In New York State, this is contained within the CPLR - the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
