case files.

number.

initial filing date.
Description:
Collection of all documents and
actions filed with the court clerk in connection with individual court actions
providing documentation of the proceeding from initial filing through
disposition or dismissal. These are filed together by the court clerk, who is
required by the Rules of Civil Procedure to file pleadings and other legal
papers. The case files document the legal process and the administration of
justice in conjunction with miscellaneous cases that do not involve a hearing
and generally need only the formality of a judge's signature for approval and
thus take up little judicial time. Ex parte proceedings are common. They are
distinguished from series 1622, Civil case files, which involve disputed cases
wherein issues are more complex and proceedings more protracted.

found at the beginning of each volume of the register of actions, series 14157,
