These records are housed in the Utah State Archives' permanent storage room.
Scope and Content
Records and documents pertaining to a particular civil, criminal or probate action are filed together by the court clerk and collectively these documents constitute the case file. As these records or actions are filed, the clerk enters them in the registers which comprise this series.
A register of actions may contain the following entries for each case: name of the attorney for plaintiff and defendant, name of the judge presiding over the case, petitions, complaints, summons, answers to summons, orders from the court, assignment of judges, exhibits, judgment, findings and conclusions, costs, decrees, requests by attorneys for instructions to the jury, verdict, motions for cross complaints or new trials, amendments to previous answers, disclaimers, bonds, and inventories.
Research Note
Researchers should note that civil and criminal actions are interspersed in the first three volumes of series 27770. This reflects the courts practice of interfiling civil and criminal case files together between 1896 and 1975 (approximately cases 1 to 1355). The register in this series was created after the case files were split into distinct series in 1976. Thus, for information on criminal cases prior to 1976 researchers will need to consult the register of action books in series 27770.
