Salt Lake City, Utah—The Utah Court of Appeals will hold a special session in Tooele on April 11 at 10:00 a.m. The court will hear oral arguments at the Gordon R. Hall Courthouse, 74 South 100 East, courtroom 21. This is the first time the Court of Appeals has held court in Tooele.
“Utah’s two appellate courts—the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court—hear cases primarily in Salt Lake’s Scott M. Matheson Courthouse,” said Presiding Judge Pamela T. Greenwood. “Both courts, however, on occasion will travel to hear cases in other parts of the state to give the public and students an opportunity to see the how the court operates first hand.”
The panel of judges that will preside during oral arguments is comprised of Judge Pamela T. Greenwood, who has served on the Court of Appeals since 1987; Judge William A. Thorne, Jr., who has served on the Court of Appeals since 2000; and Judge Carolyn B. McHugh, who has served on the Court of Appeals since 2005.
The Utah Court of Appeals was created in 1987 to handle an increasing load of appellate cases facing the Utah Supreme Court. The court, which consists of seven judges who serve six-year renewable terms, hears appeals primarily from the juvenile and district courts.
