In addition, applicants must be a resident of Washington County, an adjacent county, or the judicial district in which the justice court is located either upon appointment or within a reasonable time following appointment. Information on judicial retention and performance evaluation is posted on the Utah State Court's website at www.utcourts.gov under employment opportunities. An application for judicial office form must be completed and is available on the court's website (www.utcourts.gov/admin/jobs). The salary range for the position is $71,865 to $92,398 per year.
