Docket Models

Hearing, Order, Judgment

Court events are docket records with dependencies. Honesty note: simplified federal civil model; jurisdictions, local rules, and court orders vary; the pinned first step states the as-of date; not legal advice; outputs are docket and deadline traces only. Firewall doctrine: render structure, refuse interpretation, cite, abstain, and hand off.

Court events are docket rows

The process records hearing, order, and judgment as dated events with dependencies. The model does not predict what the court will do.

hearing→order→judgment\text{hearing}\to\text{order}\to\text{judgment}

Example event chain

The model records 3 court events from August 1, 2026 through August 8, 2026.

events=3\text{events}=3

Elapsed days follow the dated chain

The compiler orders the events and recomputes 7 elapsed days across them.

elapsed days=7\text{elapsed days}=7

Diagram note

The diagram is a dependency trace among docket events. The shared status vocabulary is toy trace vocabulary, not a merits or enforcement outcome.

Summary

Court events can be modeled as dated records linked by dependencies, with legal review outside the model.
