As those of you who currently work for the government know, today is Memorial Day, meaning that clerks and other federal employees do not have to go to work (well, with some exceptions). But some of you may not know that while all federal courts observe the standard federal holidays, employees of some federal courts have local holidays off as well. Here is a small sampling of this year's bonus holidays for some courts:


D. Alaska - Seward's Day [source].

S.D. Cal. - Cesar Chavez Day, Day After Thanksgiving [source].

D. Del. - Good Friday [source].

D. Guam - Liberation Day [source].

D. Haw. - Prince Kuhio Day, King Kamehameha Day, Admissions Day [source].

D. Md. - Day After New Year, Day After Thanksgiving [source].

S.D.N.Y. - Lincoln's Birthday [source].

D.V.I. - Good Friday, Carnival [source].
