AGENCY: District Court (First District : Box Elder County)

SERIES: 26048
TITLE: Criminal registers of actions
DATES: 1933-1986.
ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by case number, thereunder chronological by date.

DESCRIPTION: Traditionally district courts, including First District Court (Box Elder County), created a register of actions for each criminal case heard before the court. The register commenced when the accusation was filed, and thereafter the court listed each action until the case was dismissed or resolved with a conviction or acquittal. For each case the court clerk identified the defendants, the crime of which he was accused, a court assigned case number, and the names of representing attorneys. For each action the clerk listed the type of action taken and the date on which that action was taken. Registers of action are case summaries which provide reference to additional records. Court assigned case numbers listed in the registers are a guide to case files which contain all of the important documents related to the case.
