court dockets
Judicial case calendars
Court dockets are the official schedules or calendars listing cases to be heard by a court.
A docket includes case numbers, parties involved, hearing dates, and procedural history.
Lawyers check the docket to track their cases: The murder trial is on next month's docket.
To docket a case is to add it to this schedule.
By extension, any agenda of pending items may be called a docket: Congress has several bills on the docket.
