==Utah Judiciary==
The web site for the [http://www.utcourts.gov/ Utah State Courts can be found here]

Utah judiciary: The Utah Supreme Court is the court of last resort in Utah. It consists of five justices, who are appointed by the governor, and then subject to retention election. The Utah Court of Appeals handles cases from the trial courts. Trial level courts are the district courts and justice courts. All justices and judges, like those on the Utah Supreme Court, are subject to retention election after appointment.

Any time two people or business are involved in a disagreement as to their legal rights, a legal dispute has arisen.  If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably, resort may be made to [[alternative dispute resolution]] or to the Utah court system (or federal courts).  The court system is the mechanism for resolving disputes formally and finally--involving the courts is called &quot;litigation.&quot;  A party bringing a lawsuit in court must identify what &quot;claims&quot; it is bringing--in other words, the party must specify under what legal theory it is advancing its case.  The list of Utah legal claims below outlines a large number of civil legal claims that can be brought in Utah, and summarizes what needs to be proven to win a case of that nature.  The things that must be proven are commonly called the claim's &quot;elements.&quot;
