[1] HoursOfOperation is the intended root element of the schema. The HoursOfOperation element contains elements necessary to state the regular business hours of a court as well as holiday hours as they apply to both paper and electronic filing. The latter phrase is emphasized because the California Rules of Court mandate that the hours for accepting electronic filings be the same as the hours that the court's clerk's window is open for paper filings. [2]
The HoursOfOperation element can also be used to state the working hours of a group or a person. For example, if a group, such as the MIS Department, or a person, such as a filing clerk, maintain special hours that differ from the court's hours, a different HoursOfOperation element can be used to specify these special hours.
