Docket

The collection of signed cases a law firm holds in a particular mass tort litigation. "Building a docket" refers to the process of advertising, qualifying claimants, and accumulating signed retainers in anticipation of MDL consolidation and eventual settlement. Docket size and case quality are the primary determinants of a firm's settlement leverage.
