Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

The volumes are arranged in numerical order by docket number. Each page is divided into rectangular sections so that one docket entry appears in each section. At the head of each entry is the docket number, names of the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) in the suit, date of initial filing, the name(s) of the attorney(s) representing the parties to the suit and in some instances a brief note as to the type of suit. If there is a Judicial Record Book entry for the suit, there will also be a reference to the JRB volume and page where it can be found. Beneath the heading is a dated list of the actions taken (e.g., petitions, answers, orders, documents filed, copies made, record withdrawn, judgments, etc.), along with the court costs incurred for each action.
