02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Utah operates juvenile facilities through the Division of Juvenile Justice Services. The state passed a lookback window allowing historical childhood sexual abuse claims. Private residential treatment facilities in Utah (the 'troubled teen industry') have also generated significant abuse litigation.
