Cases on appeal may include the number first used by the inferior court as well as that later assigned by the district court. Sometimes a number was written in error and, later, corrected. On rare occasions, two separate cases were mistakenly assigned a single case number. Case numbers 35 through 61 and 63 through 100 were never assigned. The attached container list describes numbered cases at the box level while unnumbered cases and oversize items separated from the case file are described at the folder level.
Folders often contain more than one case file.
This is an index to plaintiffs. Throughout the territorial period, case files were created and maintained by the clerk appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the judge of the district court. At statehood, the Salt Lake County Clerk was constitutionally designated as ex-officio clerk of Third District Court in and for Salt Lake County. Since 1983, case files have been listed as permanent records in the records retention policy of the Utah Judicial Council. Microfilming of the original records was authorized by the court clerk.
