Summary of Records
Scope and Content
These are the judgments docketed in the Third District Court in and for Salt Lake County. The docket functions as the clerk's primary tracking device for each civil case. A docket entry consists of the following information: names of judgment debtor and creditor, case number, a summary of the judgment rendered in the civil case, date judgment was entered, book and page number where the judgment has been entered in the corresponding judgment record book, any appeal made, judgment of appellate court if applicable, and any satisfactions (payment) of judgment. Most importantly the record book reference and the case number entered in the judgment docket allow researchers to then access the judgment record books and individual case files.
