Scope and Content
These court calendars provide a list of cases to determine their orderly disposition and trial. Each entry gives the docket number, names of parties involved, the attorneys for each party, the file (case) number, and space called "minutes" for the judge's notes. These penciled notes are extremely brief, for example: "withdrawn," "dismissed," "date set for --," "settled," "continued," " judgments against --," etc. Entries are arranged by docket number for first the fall term and then, starting again with number one, for the winter term. Most are for cases of law or equity.
Arrangement
Chronological by term, thereunder numerical by docket number. Docket numbers begin at number one with each new term.
