Scope and Content Note

This series consists of filings by the justices of the supreme court for each judicial district. Changes in the date of a court session, a presiding judge, or the extension of a court term or appointment of an extraordinary term are also filed in this series. The governor's certificates of designation of judges filed after 1905 were filed with the assignments of judges. The information contained in these records includes the locations, dates, and names of presiding judges for each type of court term appointed.

The records covering 1848-1924 are arranged chronologically with each individual filing covering a two-year period. A separate filing exists for each judicial district or judicial department. Records covering 1960-1979 are also arranged chronologically, but each filing covers only one year. A separate filing exists for each judicial department.
