How Massachusetts SJC holidays affect filings
Massachusetts publishes court closure dates under Commonwealth legal holidays. Supreme Judicial Court filing checks should pair those dates with the appellate rule, clerk guidance, eFileMA status, and any single justice order
Check Patriots' Day and other Massachusetts-specific holidays before counting business days
Use SJC clerk guidance for direct appellate review and further appellate review filings
Confirm eFileMA submission rules when the filing deadline runs to midnight
