This disposition is based on the historical and legal value of this series. These records function as the most accessible source of judgment information about parties involved in civil cases tried by the Second District Court. Because of the importance of judgment information, which contains all orders affecting parties involved in civil actions, the court clerk is required by law [UCA Rule 79 (b) (1)] to maintain a judgment book to permanently record the sequence of events leading to a final judgment.
