docket
NOT: what a salty sea captain tells you to do with a boat
But Actually: 1. a list maintained by the clerk of everything that has been filed or everything that has happened in a case, also called a “progress docket”; 2. when the clerk makes an entry in the docket; 3. a list of cases going to trial on a certain day
docket sounding
NOT: measuring the depth of the mooring area
But Actually: a meeting with the judge and everyone whose case is set for trial during the same trial period to determine the order that the cases will be tried
