A docket, in the law of the United States, is the official summary record of the proceedings that have taken place in a case before a court, listing filings, hearings, orders and other steps in sequence. In the United Kingdom the same word is used in a narrower modern sense, for an official document that accompanies the delivery of something, though it carries a similar underlying sense of a formal record. The term has a long history: usage of docket in a legal recording sense has been documented since 1485, and by the late nineteenth century it commonly referred to a large folio book in which court clerks entered every filing and proceeding for each case that came before them.
