Summary of Records
Scope and Content
This series contains the judgment record and summarized case information of individual civil cases, including divorces, processed and filed in the Third District Court in and for Salt Lake County. These records function as an abstracted reference source for all materials affecting the final judgment. A record typically includes the names of the parties, case number, stipulations and orders, findings of facts and conclusions of law, and a copy of the judgment or decree stating the results of the case including which party prevailed. The judge, clerk, and filing date are also noted. The format of the judgment record has changed over time. In 1949, the separate recording of this case information into volumes was ended.
Research Note
Page 448 of book 8 was missed during filming with the volume destroyed thereafter.
Arrangement
The series is arranged roughly chronologically by filing date in numbered volumes. There is some overlap in dates as the clerk often entered the parties before judgment was rendered or sometimes utilized a blank page at the end of the book to enter a forgotten earlier judgment. Recording becomes even more erratic later on before the practice of maintaining record books was abandoned entirely. Thus dates listed in the container list are approximations. Retakes of poorly microfilmed pages are spliced at the beginning of reels.

Custody History
The judgment books were maintained for the court by the Salt Lake County Clerk (ex-officio court clerk) with the bulk of the series transferred to the Utah Sate Archives January 24, 1968.
Acquisition Information
These records were acquired from the creating agency through established retention schedules.
Processing Information
Judgment records since 1982 have had a permanent retention. It was decided to change the format of the judgment books to microfilm due to preservation problems with the original format (water damage, excessive dirt, brittle paper, and broken bindings) and the fact that the records themselves have no intrinsic value. Microfilming was completed in July of 1993. Series processing, begun by Kenneth Williams in 1993, was completed by A.C. Cone in January 2003.
