How We Counted Utah Court Cases in Our Sample Week
The volume figures in our practice-area posts come from one sample week of Utah court filings, September 28 to October 2, 2026, counted through the court's public case search. They are our observations, not published statistics, and they carry real limits. This post explains the method so you can judge them.
How did we count?
For each case type we ran the court's case search for cases filed in that week, statewide, filtering by case type. The tool returns 50 rows per page and stops at 500 rows. Each row is one party, and a case has several, so we divided total rows by the average number of parties per case on the first page to estimate cases.
What is the margin?
About 15%. The number of pages tells us the total rows within a range of 50, and the parties-per-case average is based on one page.
Where did it hit the limit?
Debt collection, small claims, divorce, and tax liens hit the 500-row ceiling, so their true counts are higher than we state. When we write "more than" or "at least," that is why.
What does it leave out?
- A single week. Seasonal swings are invisible.
- District Court for most types. Small claims were counted in Justice Court, and other types in District Court.
- Case types we did not search. See which case types include addresses for what we did not check.
Why share it at all?
Because a rough, honest count helps you choose a practice area. Which practice area to add first uses it. For the products, see Utah court case leads and pricing.
