Justice Court
The South Weber Justice Court was established in 1971 when the city was incorporated. Its mission is to improve the quality of life for the residents and non-residents who frequent the city. The Court has jurisdiction to adjudicate infractions and misdemeanors (Class B & C) when the violation occurred within city boundaries. Several law enforcement agencies issue citations into the South Weber Justice Court including Utah Highway Patrol, Davis County Sheriff’s Office, and the Division of Wildlife Resources. Small claims cases which either occurred in the city or where the defendant resides in the city may also be heard if the suit is $15,000 or under.

The Justice Court uses the State of Utah Uniform Fine Schedule as a guideline in setting bail and sentencing.

Can I do community service instead of paying a fine?
You have a legal right to request community service in place of a fine. Your service must be approved by Judge Memmott and must be done through a non-profit organization. To request this option, call the court and set a hearing date. You will be credited at $10 per hour. If community service is not done or proof provided as ordered, the community service will no longer be an option and the original fine will be imposed.
How do I do get on the Court calendar?
South Weber is an open court. You are not required to have an appointment; however it is best to verify the court date by calling the Court Clerk at 801.479.3177 x 2203
When is Court held?
Court is usually held on the first and third Thursday of each month at 4:00 p.m. but may be changed. All hearings will be held in person beginning in October.
Court Calendars may be found at Http://www.utcourts.gov/cal/
Court begins at 4 pm and runs until all cases are seen. You must check-in by 5 pm to guarantee appearance. If you fail to appear, a warrant may be issued.
How do I join hearings electronically?
Beginning in October hearings will be held in person with few exceptions based on physical or geographic inability to attend. To request a Webex link contact the court clerks and provide proof of need. If you have a scheduled electronic hearing, you will be emailed an invitation with a link. All others will need to appear.
Can I go to traffic school?
Beginning October 1, 2022 Utah is offering a deffered prosecution. You should check the table on this page above to see if you qualify for either that or the court’s plea in abeyance.
South Weber offers a 6 month traffic school plea in abeyance which means the guilty or no contest plea will be held until the terms are completed. After 6 months of full compliance, the charge will be dismissed. The administrative fee is $25 in addition to the cost of the violation. You are also required to take a traffic course either on-line or with a neighboring city within 60 days. (Additional Charge)
The City Prosecutor has given the clerks very specific limitations regarding traffic school qualifications. Some qualifications are:
- Your current charge must be minor.
- speed must be under 19 miles over the limit
- an accident cannot be involved
- it cannot be in a school zone
- You must have a valid driver’s license when cited. You may not have a commercial driver’s license (CDL).
- You may not have had a plea in abeyance or attended a traffic school within the last 12 months.
- You may not have had more than 2 moving violations within the last three years from any state.
If you believe you qualify and would like to file a motion to hold your plea in abeyance, please contact the court clerk at 801-479-3177 ext. 2203. After the clerk verifies your eligibility, you will be emailed the appropriate document to be returned by email within seven days. When it is received, the judge will sign an order to hold the plea in abeyance which will be emailed to you at that time with instructions on how to pay and complete the traffic course.
