Utah Court Records: Difference between revisions

The provisional government was created to provide a temporary civil government. Under this government the Utah Supreme Court and justice of the peace, and county courts were created in January 1850. Alderman's, municipal, and probate courts were created in January 1851. Because of communication delays between Washington, D.C., and Salt Lake City, the provisional government continued to function for nearly a year after the Organic Act created the Territory of Utah in 1850. With the exception of a few scattered documents, the judicial court records for the provisional government do not exist or have not been located.
