These volumes record docketed judgments from the District Courts of the First and Second Judicial Districts of the County of Monmouth. The judgments were recorded in the Court of Common Pleas through May 1948 and, beginning in the next term (September 1948), in the Monmouth County Court - Law Division. The change occurred as a result of the abolishment of the Court of Common Pleas by provision of the New Jersey Constitution of 1947.

The cases document awards of sums to plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are usually businesses and the defendants are either businesses or individuals. The docket books record the docket number, date of judgment in District Court, names of the plaintiff and defendant, and the amount awarded. The amounts are typically a few hundred dollars. In some cases, it is mentioned that an execution was served but that the money was not paid. For some other cases, there is an added rubber stamp on the side of the page, stating that the money has been paid, with the date and signature of the County Clerk.

In the front of the last few volumes in the series, there is an index in the front of the book.
