Included are all cases which cannot legally be called ""criminal cases."" Records and documents pertaining to a particular action are filed together by the court clerk\, who is required by the Rules of Civil Procedure to file pleadings and other legal papers. Collectively they constitute the case file. A civil action commences with the filing of a complaint with the court or by service to the defendant of a summons together with a copy of the complaint. A unique case number is assigned by the court when the papers are filed with the clerk. The case file for a particular action includes the original complaint or summons together with all legal papers subsequently filed in connection with the,court proceeding through disposition or dismissal. Included are such documents as: depositions (or written testimony)\, demurrers (which are pleas for the dismissal of a lawsuit on the grounds that even if the statements of the opposition are true\, they do not sustain the claim)\, interrogatories (a pretrial discovery tool in which written questions are propounded by one party and served to the adversary\, who must answer by written replies made under oath)\, answers\, counter claims\, replies\, motions\, petitions\, affidavits (written statements made under oath before an officer of the court\, notary public\, or other authorized person)\, stipulations (an agreement between attorneys that concerns business before a court and is designed to simplify\, shorten\, or settle litigation and save costs)\, exhibit documents (written contracts\, bills\, receipts\, etc.)\, notices\, objections\, citations\, sheriff's certificates\, judge's orders and rulings\, judge's instructions to the jury\, judge's findings of,fact and conclusions of law\, final decrees\, judgments\, and executions (the process of carrying into effect a court's judgment\, decree\, or order). Demurrers\, pleas\, and exceptions for insufficiency were abolished in 1953. Transcripts (an official and certified copy of what transpired in court or at an out-of-court deposition) and exhibits (items of real evidence) are not included in the case files. Petitions for divorce are the predominant type of action in the civil case files. Suits to recover money are also common. These actions arise out of failure to honor promissory notes or other contract terms and non- payment of rent\, lease payments\, and court-ordered judgments. Attempts by plaintiffs to recover medical costs and lost income arising out of personal injury cases resulting from alleged carelessness or neglect appear frequently. These include traffic mishaps or accidents involving neighbors\, employees\, or business customers. Property cases include disputed ownership\, damage\,,and contested improvements. Legal actions include voluntary withdrawal or dissolution of corporations as well as petitions for a writ of habeas corpus (a court order requiring that a prisoner be brought before a judge to decide the legality of his detention or imprisonment). Court business (grand jury lists and reports\, orders summoning persons to serve as jurors\, various writs\, etc.) have also been assigned civil case numbers. According to statute\, the district court has jurisdiction in all civil matters not excepted by the state constitution and not prohibited by law. During each calendar year the court is required to hold at least three terms at the county seat of each county within the district. The county clerk in each county serves as ex- officio clerk to the court and is responsible for maintaining the case files for actions arising in that county. Responsibility for cases involving minimal monetary claims was reassigned to the newly created small claims departments of,inferior courts in 1933. When inferior courts have original jurisdiction\, the district court is limited to hearing appeals. Included are violations of city and town ordinances\, as well as minor traffic laws\, where a City Court or Justice of the Peace Court is established. Upon receipt of an appeal\, the district court conducts a complete retrial of the case.",Permanent. Retain for 50 year(s),Public,104.0 cubic feet

After 1906, also by volume and petition number.","These volumes contain documentation of the final steps of becoming a United States citizen. They include petitions for naturalization\, certificates of citizenship\, and accompanying documentation. The first preprinted forms consisted of an applicant's affidavit and witness affidavits\, as well as a certificate of citizenship. The applicant's affidavit gave his name\, birthplace\, court and date of declaration of intention\, sovereign\, and date of admission to the United States. The affidavit included an oath of renunciation to his former sovereign and a declaration regarding character and health. The affidavits of two witnesses confirmed the applicant's statements and declared his worthiness to become a citizen.__A copy of a,certificate of citizenship form was then completed reiterating this information and ordering his admittance as a citizen. _____After 1906\, courts were required to use preprinted forms in volumes issued by the federal Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization. Petitions included the individual's name\, residence\, occupation\, birth date and place; place from which emigrated\, date\, port of arrival\, and vessel name; date and court where he declared his intention of becoming a citizen; wife's name\, birthplace\, and residence; and any previous petitions for citizenship.

The printed oath of allegiance and court order admitting the applicant as a citizen are included. Later space was added for memoranda\, including space to record the denial\, not just the acceptance\, of the petition. In 1941\, a sentence was added regarding any departures from the United States with a table in which to record dates of departure and return\, ports used\, and vessel name. Various corroborating documents had to be produced at the time of the hearing and are usually bound into the volumes along with the petitions. They include declarations of intention\, certificates of military service\, certificates of arrival\, witness depostions\,,correspondence\, and occasionally court orders revoking citizenship.
