I'm not sure if these fall under WP:RS, so I thought I'd place them here for discussion instead of in the article.

I'll keep searching, but for now those are what I have found. - SudoGhost™ 08:05, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These are a few more. I wanted to discuss these before searching for more, if necessary. - SudoGhost™ 08:17, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"cited source does not even mention dockets"

To which source were you referring? The American and English encyclopedia of law goes into a good bit of detail about dockets, and Juvenile Court and Social Welfare: Dynamics of Progressive Reform defines dockets in the context of the court systems (specifically the juvenile courts). - SudoGhost™ 11:36, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Docket" as used by NTSB

NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) uses the term "docket" in a way that is not any of the meanings given in the article, e.g. in this typical text from a NTSB press release: "As part of its continuing investigation into the crash of a Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation G-IV that occurred in Bedford, Massachusetts, the National Transportation Safety Board has opened the accident docket, releasing about 800 pages of documents.". About 800 pages of documents is hardly a summary, an agenda, a schedule nor any other of the given meanings (in the Wiktionary entry) but rather some kind of repository. Some similarity to PACER mentioned in the article exists, however. I'm leaving eventual update of the article for someone with better knowledge of English language. --Sivullinen (talk) 21:37, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about "docket" as used by courts in the judicial branch.

Administrative agencies are in the executive branch. Several agencies use the term "docket" to describe a series of filings under a particular case number, regardless of whether the agency is acting in an investigative or adjudicative capacity or both with respect to the case. But "docket" in that context is somewhat different from what's described here in this article.

Please read up on Separation of powers under the United States Constitution.--Coolcaesar (talk) 08:32, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the 'wrong place' argument but I don't know what would be a better way to solve the issue that the 'executive branch' usage of "docket" seems to explained nowhere in Wikipedia. A new article of its own is hardly justified and I doubt there's any existing article that could be linked from the Docket disambiguation page. --Sivullinen (talk) 19:25, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. What you're getting at is the larger problem of how in American law, executive branch administrative agencies include legislative and judicial functions in the same agency, which is already adequately explained in other articles in Wikipedia. That in turn seriously complicates the mastery of other administrative law concepts like what the term "docket" means in an administrative context, but Wikipedia is ill-suited to address that because Wikipedia is also not a textbook. --Coolcaesar (talk) 06:37, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So I put the issue on the Wiktionary tea room table (Wiktionary has an entry for 'docket' and explanations of meanings in law but no coverage of the different meaning in executive branch administrative agencies). --Sivullinen (talk) 21:27, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
