Having searched high & low, it looks like Outlook Calendar does not have a
built in date calculator - ie, in my trial practice, I get assigned a trial
date and need to calculate deadlines x days prior.
Can anyone recommend a good Outlook add-in that does this?
Thanks.

you don't need an addin - outlook understands natural language and can add.
Try using "days before" - i.e., if you need an appointment set for 11
calendar days before June 22, type "11 days before June 22" in the date
field. You can also use shortcuts like 2w for 2 weeks from now - open a new
appointment on May 25 and type 2w and it will move you out 2 weeks.

Note that it understands "before" but not - (minus). It does know + however.
