Case in Hand

Utah

Utah: statutes read at the official source for people acting for themselves, each with its citation and the date it was read.

Acting for yourself

Read at the official source. The provision is cited below; its wording is not reproduced here because the reading recorded the section rather than its text.

Utah Code Ann. § 78A-9-103 (Unauthorized practice of law — Action by court — Civil action — Criminal penalty) · le.utah.gov · read 2026-08-27 · official source

Renting and landlord-tenant

No landlord-tenant provision has been read at Utah’s own code yet, so none is shown. An empty section here means nobody checked, never no law exists.

Small claims

The court that hears these in Utah is the Small claims court.
