Court Dockets

A docket is an official summary of proceedings in court. The judge and/or court of clerk briefly describes the proceedings and filings within a particular case. This usually includes information about the parties and attorneys involved, dates, and filings in a specific case. A docket may also include links to case documents.

Each case is assigned a docket number, which is the case number for the court or a tracking number to make it easier to follow the information. The docket number may contain a number or letter to signify the court, a 2-digit number that indicates the year, the case type, a case number, and the initials of the judge.

Dockets are usually managed by the Clerk of Court. Sometimes dockets and court filings are available electronically for public viewing, but not always.
