What is XChange?
XChange is a fee-based subscription to district court case information and justice court case information.
District courts are general jurisdiction courts. Cases handled in district courts include domestic, civil and criminal cases. All felony and class A misdemeanor cases are filed in district courts.
Justice courts are limited jurisdiction courts. Cases handled in justice courts include most class B and C misdemeanors, infractions, and traffic cases. As of 2009, all small claims cases are filed in justice courts.
Case information is available for justice courts using the Courts Information System (CORIS). By July 18, 2011, cases filed in all justice courts in Utah will be available on XChange.
The information displayed is the public record case information entered into the Courts Information System (CORIS) by court staff in the courthouses where the case files are located. Information is available in XChange immediately upon entry in local court’s computer system.
XChange provides summary information about cases. This includes information such as names of parties, party addresses (if available), assigned judges, attorneys of record, documents filed, hearings held, judgments entered, and the outcome of completed cases. Images of public documents filed in several case types are available for purchase on XChange.
Information is complete for all courts since they began using CORIS. Most district courts were using CORIS by the end of 1998. Each justice court began using the CORIS case management system at different times and has made independent decisions about converting old cases. Converted cases typically display less information. Dates when each court began using the CORIS case management system are available here.
Records not open to public inspection are not displayed on XChange. Sealed court cases, such as adoptions and civil commitments, are not displayed on XChange. Expunged cases are not displayed on XChange. Juvenile delinquency, child welfare, and termination of parental rights cases are under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court and not available on XChange.
