At the same time, 2,916 divorces were processed through Third District Court, ' which includes Salt Lake, Tooele and Summit counties. For the first time, according to W. Sterling Evans, county clerk, divorce statistics were kept separate from civil suits filed in Third District Court. Evans said 5,778 civil suits of all kinds were filed in 1970. These, plus the divorces, make 8,694 cases handled by the courts In 1970, compared to a total 7,442 cases processed the ycar before. In 1969, the Third District had eight judges. Two more were added during 1970. to handle the additional 1,252 cases. None of 'base figures includes the number of criminal cases handled by the Third District Court. These figures for 1970 are now being com- -' piled by the darks office. Evans noted that nearly all civil cases are filed, brought to trial and completed within a six months period an unusually short period compared to the backlog and waiting period for court cases in. many parts of the nation. The backlog on criminal cases in Third District Court is presently about five to six weeks from the time a is signed until j la'iml nary hearing.
