Civil dockets are used by the Justice and Superior Courts to document civil complaints filed in the Justice Court and judgment resulting from such complaints. The information each bound volume provides includes: (1) date and term of court; (2) Georgia Militia District name or number; (3) names of plaintiffs and defendants; (4) type of case involved; (5) constable's entry concerning service of copy of complaint on defendant; (6) enumeration of Justice's and Constable's cost; (7) remarks; (8) nature of judgment rendered, and (9) names of attorneys (which are rarely listed). Most of the cases involved collection of debts relating to promissory notes or unpaid accounts.
