What is docket call?

A docket call is a court proceeding where a judge sets a schedule for all parties involved in a case to appear in court. During a docket call, the judge will review the status of the case and may make decisions about the timing of future hearings or deadlines for filing documents. This can help ensure that the case moves forward in an organized and timely manner. Docket calls can occur at various stages in a case, depending on the court's rules and the complexities of the case. They may also be referred to as case management conferences, pre-trial conferences, or status conferences.
