docketing

Logging court cases

Docketing is the act of recording items on a docket—an official list or register, especially of court cases or business to be transacted.

In legal contexts, it means entering a case or judgment into court records: The clerk is responsible for docketing all new filings.

More broadly, it can mean labeling or scheduling items for attention.
