According to a press release from the Utah Judiciary, residents from Weber, Morgan and Davis counties have been invited to a Court Connect town hall at the 2nd District Juvenile Courthouse in Ogden on Thursday from 6-8 p.m.

“Court Connect is a statewide initiative aimed at strengthening public trust in the courts, expanding access to justice, and increasing awareness of court resources and services,” the release said. “This free, public event offers community members a chance to engage directly with Judiciary representatives in an informal, welcoming setting.”

The release adds that the town halls are a means of starting a public discourse on the state’s judicial system and how it serves residents.

“These town halls are designed to open doors and build stronger connections between the courts and the communities they serve,” the release said. “They offer the public an opportunity to learn more about the role of the Judiciary, how the courts operate, and how the judicial branch fits into the broader system of government.”

The public can expect the following opportunities Thursday evening:

• “Better understand the role of the courts in Utah’s justice system
• Ask questions and connect directly with Judiciary representatives
• Discover how to access justice services, including self-help resources and online filing systems
• Learn about court resources available in their community
• Meet judges and court personnel in a less formal setting”

The release notes additional opportunities to learn more about the judiciary are on the horizon.

“These town halls mark the first step in an ongoing effort to create opportunities for the public and community partners to engage directly with the Judiciary. Court Connect events are open to everyone — individual community members, civic organizations, and anyone interested in learning more about Utah’s Judiciary,” the release said.
