APPRAISAL

Administrative Historical Legal

This disposition is based on the 1993 records retention policy of the Utah Judicial Council (in UCA, Utah Court Rules Annotated, Appendix F), which has remained unchanged since the 1980 issue of the state Records Retention Schedule (Utah State Archives and Records Services, Department of Finance, 1980, page 1). The indexes have historical, administrative, and legal value and facilitate access to the permanent civil, criminal and probate case files which provide documentation about individuals, legal procedure, court history and functions, and other topics useful to legal researchers and historians.
