Holiday Closures
All state courts and state court offices close each calendar year for certain holidays:
- 9 holidays defined by state law
- any other day the Governor appoints as a holiday.
State law provides that when one of those 9 holidays falls on Saturday, the legal holiday (the day we close) is the Friday before. When one of those holidays falls on Sunday, the legal holiday is the following Monday. The state court system closes for each legal holiday set by state law.
For information on how legal holidays affect computing time for filing or serving process, see ORS 174.120 and 174.125, ORCP 10, UTCR 1.130, TCR 10, and ORAP 1.25.
