Really sorry, but as in UK could someone explain what these first two notices mean please?
"Jail Docket" and "Paupers Oath". TIA
The Pauper's oath at this stage is generally a document signed by the defendant to indicate they are indigent and cannot afford a lawyer. Based on this, one is appointed. Jail docket is placed on dockets in some jurisdictions to signal that the defendant is in jail. Some courts do the jail docket separately if LE has to bring them over or some courts do them by video. A local there would have a better idea of what that court normally does.
