Utah State Courts Receives National Award for Data Excellence

Salt Lake City, UT — The Utah State Courts has been recognized for the quality of its case data, which allows the courts to better understand and manage Utah’s judicial system.

The award was given out by the Court Statistics Project of the National Center for State Courts during the Conference of State Court Administrators last week.

“This award once again recognizes Utah’s courts as national leaders in using data and performance measures to ensure transparent, accountable and efficient service to Utah’s Court users,” said Utah State Court Administrator Rick Schwermer.

Utah was one of three states recognized. Specifically, Utah’s courts were commended for the quality of its caseload data, adding new civil case types to its system, and keeping comprehensive data on case filings and case dispositions.
