Utah's district, juvenile and appellate courts are courts of record. Hearings are recorded either by court reporters or electronically. Copies of hearings recorded electronically are available from each court. To obtain a copy of a hearing, contact the court in which the hearing took place. See the links below. A nominal fee is charged for each copy. Information on fees can be found at Rule 4-202.08. Fees for records, information, and services. The format in which a hearing is recorded depends on the recording equipment in the courtroom. To learn about the different formats, see our page on Verbatim Copies of Court Hearings.
