Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series consists of court dockets kept by the court clerk. Court dockets are court calendars which record all cases in order for each court term, assigning a unique number to each case. Docket numbers change from term to term until 1895, when each case retains its original number through all court terms. After the supreme court moved to Montpelier in 1906, ending county sessions, docket numbers are inconsistent because the county clerk and supreme court clerk assigned different docket numbers to the same case. Docket entries include plaintiff and defendant, attorneys, and a brief summary of action taking place that court term. Entries often include court costs for a case. Dockets usually record the names of judges and clerk and note court term dates. They may also include admissions to the supreme court bar and court administrative costs. Most early supreme court dockets are not indexed. Chancery cases are intermingled with regular supreme court cases in the 1837 docket, but are indentified as chancery in docket entries. Chancery cases are docketed separately in 1838-1840 supreme court dockets.
