Etymology
The term 'docket' itself has its origins in the Middle English word 'dockett,' which means a small document or a label. This word was derived from the Old French 'docquet,' which also means a label or a short written note. Over time, 'docket' evolved to refer to the list of cases awaiting action in a court. The verb form 'docketed' started to appear in legal parlance as courts formalized the recording of cases and documents. Its usage has been integral to legal processes, ensuring that matters are properly recorded and scheduled for attention. The emphasis on docketing reflects the need for meticulous record-keeping in the legal profession, especially with the increasing complexity of case law and procedural requirements.
