District of Utah

The District of Utah holds court in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and St. George, serving the entire state with five authorized judgeships. Salt Lake City's growing technology sector — known as the 'Silicon Slopes' — is generating an increasing volume of intellectual-property and startup-financing litigation. The district also handles a significant caseload of public-lands disputes given that the federal government manages approximately 65% of Utah's total land area.
