District Court in Weber County - Jurisdiction
District courts, under Utah law,
are considered courts of general
jurisdiction and can hear any level of criminal charge. The district
courts have exclusive jurisdiction over all
felony and class A
misdemeanor charges. These higher-level charges must be filed in the
district court despite a justice court with geographic jurisdiction.
District courts are able to hear lower level
misdemeanor cases when no justice court has geographic jurisdiction over the matter.
Because Weber County has no county-wide justice court, cases involving only class C or class B
misdemeanors
committed in unincorporated areas of the county should be filed
directly in the district court. Cases with only class C or class B
misdemeanor that occurred within a city having its own
justice court should be filed in the city justice court.
The
Ogden District Court also has jurisdiction over de novo
appeals from all justice courts in Weber County. Because justice courts
in Utah are not considered to be "courts of record" an appeal from the
justice court is normally in the form of a trial de novo or hearing de
novo in the district court.
