Court Dockets

Court dockets are records containing the complete history of every case in brief chronological entries that summarize the court proceedings. In a court docket, you will find a listing of all the parties involved in the case, the attorney, and their contact information. A court docket is also used to ensure that all parties know what has happened. Court dockets are helpful if the case has been transferred to a new district judge or if new counsel joins the case.

You will need the docket number, a mix of letters and numbers, to find a court docket. The Clerk of Court is responsible for maintaining dockets kept in the court where the plaintiff filed the case. Unless sealed, court dockets are public records.
