District Court (Fourth District : Utah County)

Registers of actions are listings of all actions relative to individual cases. Registers provide complete histories of each case, including the names of the plaintiff and defendant, the case number, dates for every action and hearing, and the nature of the action taken on each date. Registers of action provide reference to court minute or record books.

This series contains books used to record actions taken by the court and the associated documents filed in each criminal case. Records and documents pertaining to a particular case 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.

The registers of action typically include information for each case, such as the case number, name of the defendant , name of the attorney for the defendant, name of the presiding judge, 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.

Each book in the series contains its own name index to facilitate access to the record.
