Community Court at the Kearns Library is an opportunity for individuals to have eviction and debt related issues resolved in a community setting. For many residents, the Utah Courts can be an intimidating environment, and court hours may not be convenient for many working families. To reduce this barrier to the judicial system, the Utah Court is partnering with the Kearns Public Library to offer court services for individuals who currently have a case set to appear before the Utah Judiciary.
When: Every third Tuesday of the month
Where: Kearns Public Library, 4275 W 5345 S, Kearns, UT 84118
Working to resolve an eviction-related matter can help individuals avoid severe negative consequences such as:
- Having a permanent mark on your credit history
- Having trouble finding future housing
- Potential court judgements for unpaid rent
- Wage garnishment
- Collection efforts
- Attorney fees
- Trouble damages
The Community Court program will have a team of attorneys, mediators, and Utah Court Staff that can help residents understand the eviction process, what their rights are, and options to avoid severe negative consequences.
