The October Term 2008 begins on October 6, 2008. Information on the docket is updated on the day after an entry is made on the docket.” (Docket). This paper will throw light upon three Docket cases, the similarities and differences between these three cases will be highlighted in this paper.
Case 1

Case 3
Polar Tanker Vs City of Valdes is another intriguing case. “In 2000, the City of Valdez, Alaska, adopted a personal property tax on vessels 95 feet or longer that docked at the city’s port. Several tanker owners filed a suit to challenge the validity of the tax. In 2004, the Alaska Superior Court held that the tax violated the Tonnage Clause of the U.S. Constitution without addressing the Due Process and Commerce Clauses. In 2005, after the city’s motion, the court reconsidered and vacated its 2004 decision and ruled, without addressing the Tonnage Clause issue, that the tax’s apportionment method violated the Due Process and Commerce Clauses of the U.S. Constitution.” (Justice Rule). All the cases have several similarities, all these cases went on for a really long time and a fair trial was organized by the court. To conclude it is very fair to say that all docket cases were very fairly held and organized.
