What Does "Top" of the Docket Mean?

In courthouse slang, the "top" of the docket refers to the first cases called by the judge at 9:30 AM. These are not necessarily the most severe crimes. Instead, "top" often includes:

Remands: Cases where the accused is simply being adjourned to a future date (these are quick).
Bail Reviews: High-priority hearings to determine if an accused will be released.
In-custody appearances: Defendants who spent the night in jail are heard first.
Time-sensitive motions: Emergency family protection orders.

Part 6: Tips for Navigating the Fredericton Justice Building

The physical layout affects how you use the docket top. The Fredericton Justice Building has two main court levels:

Provincial Court (Ground Floor): Criminal, traffic, youth, and some family. Dockets here move fast. The top 10 cases finish by 11 AM.
Court of King’s Bench (Second Floor): Serious indictable crimes (murder, major fraud), large civil trials, and divorces. The docket top here might consist of one trial lasting three weeks.

Insider tip: If your case is #1 on the King’s Bench docket top, show up at 9:00 AM sharp. If you are #12, you can safely arrive at 1:30 PM—but call the clerk first to confirm no early sitting.
