APPRAISAL

Historical

Disposition based on documentation about individuals, legal procedure, court history and functions. Case files (and accompanying transcripts) have legal and administrative value to the court through dismissal or satisfaction of the final judgment. They enforce or protect private rights and prevent or redress private wrongs. The value of the judge's decrees and final judgments to parties in an action may well extend beyond their immediate administrative use.
