The following article is a timeline of the Ace Attorney universe.
Basic reckoning
It is important to note that the years used in this timeline are mostly based on the full date given on a DL-6 Incident case summary file, with all other events being portrayed as relative to other dates as opposed to having a definite point of occurrence. The murder of Gregory Edgeworth is recorded as having occurred on December 28, 2001. By the statute of limitations an unsolved case is closed permanently 15 years after its opening, putting the final resolution of the incident at December 28, 2016. Furthermore, a poster seen for Trucy In Gramarye-Land in The Magical Turnabout has its days of the week match up with 2028, which is consistent when adding up the years between it and the final resolution of DL-6. From this, it is possible to construct a timeline of the Ace Attorney universe.
For Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Bōken, the basis for its timeline is the date of birth of the character Sōseki Natsume, who is based on the real life author of the same name. Natsume was born in 1867, and is 33 when he is introduced, which would place The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro in 1900.
Complications
The developers of the Ace Attorney games, in particular the people in charge of putting down the ages of characters in the court record, have not paid much attention to any absolute timeline. This is evident in the fact that characters' ages do not change within a game (except during "flashback" cases), even when a new year passes by. This has led to some inconsistencies in character birthdates. The timeline for this page treats the "present" timeline of an individual game as a "year" (much like school terms that straddle the new year), which resolves some of these issues. More information on this can be found here.
Since the organizer profiles in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Gyakuten Kenji 2 fit with corresponding court record profiles in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, the 2018-2019 "year" used in Trials and Tribulations is used for the purpose of birth years in these games.
The timeline itself follows. Please note that some of these dates are extrapolations (e.g., "two weeks after Phoenix Wright's disbarment" becomes "May 3") and may not be exactly correct. Nonetheless, it's unlikely that the "true" dates will ever be pinned down.
Additionally, while it is noted above that the basis for placing The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro in 1900 is based on the age of Sōseki Natsume, the real Sōseki Natsume was only present in the UK from 1901 to 1903. This is presumed to simply be artistic license. As he returned to Japan in January 1903, yet returns in the game immediately after The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro (February), plus the fact that he would be 36 in 1903, the real-life dates are rendered irreconcilable with the dates in-game.
A free DLC pack for Dai Gyakuten Saiban notes that the game was set in 1897 in early drafts, but the year is never mentioned in the main game. Thus, it is unknown if this is still the intended date.
The events of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney are not given any date stamps within the game, so its placement on the timeline is debatable. The character designs and Maya's use of the word "Zvarri" indicate that it is definitely sometime between October 2018 and April 2019. Some speculate that the reference to Hazakura Temple indicates after February 2019, but there is nothing in this reference to indicate that Phoenix had prior knowledge of the temple's existence. The lack of snow in both London and Labyrinthia also goes against the February date stamp. A plot hole in Recipe for Turnabout may provide a more accurate placement for the game's events. Gumshoe does not confront Phoenix about the Trés Bien incident until a month after it occurs, nor does Phoenix have any knowledge of it in that time, despite its publicity. It's possible that he was in London during that time, hence his obliviousness, which is this article's basis for the dates given regarding Layton vs Wright. It should be noted, however, that this is still speculation. As far as the Bonus Episodes are concerned, they are intended to give more of a "Behind the Scenes" perspective on the game and are not considered canon.
