Emery County court
1850 N 560 West
Castle Dale to Green River
Most hearings virtual
Green River uses the Castle Dale court. So does the rest of Emery County.
Emery County Justice Court lists its courtroom at 1850 North 560 West in Castle Dale. That is the justice court. It is not the county administration building at 75 East Main Street, the old courthouse on Main. If a notice tells you to appear in person, 560 West is the address the court publishes. Walking into the building on Main does not put you on this calendar.
The county does not split this docket among municipal justice courts. Castle Dale, Huntington, Ferron, and Orangeville, along SR-10, are this court. So are Cleveland, Elmo, Emery, and Clawson. Green River is the outlier on the map, out on I-70, and it is still this court when the caption says Emery County Justice Court. There is no Green River justice court to hunt for, and no Huntington justice court either.
Carbon County is the mix-up on the north side of the county. A stop in Price or Helper is Carbon County Justice Court, at the courthouse in Price, not this one in Castle Dale. People drive US-6 between Helper and the Emery County line, and the caption is what changes at that line. A more serious DUI, including where there is a prior offense, an injury, or a child in the vehicle, can be filed in district court instead of justice court. That is a different court again. The charging document names it.
Most first-offense DUIs in Utah are Class B misdemeanors handled in justice court. Emery County Justice Court is where those cases are heard for this county. Most hearings at this court are held virtually or hybrid, which matters when the drive from Green River or Ferron to Castle Dale is the thing you are trying to plan. It is not a promise that your date is remote. Dallin reads the notice before he tells you to stay home or to come to 560 West.
The old courthouse is a different building
75 East Main is the county administration building. The justice court publishes 1850 North 560 West. Those are not interchangeable appearances.
It will not tell you how the case ends
Nothing here promises a dismissal, a reduction, or a particular sentence. The stop, the testing, and the charge that was filed are what the case turns on.
The first setting is where Emery County states the charge.
It is an advisement. It is not the end of the case.

Confirm the caption says Emery County Justice Court
That is the court for Castle Dale, Huntington, Ferron, Orangeville, Green River, and the smaller towns. A Carbon County caption belongs in Price. The address for an in-person date here is 1850 North 560 West, not 75 East Main.
-
You hear the charge, and you hear your rights
The court advises you of the right to a lawyer and asks how you intend to plead. Many people plead not guilty, or ask for time to hire counsel, and come back when someone is actually on the case.
-
Decide the drive only after you read the notice
Most hearings at this court are held virtually or hybrid. For someone in Green River or Ferron, that is often the difference between a video login and a long drive to Castle Dale. The court can still require you in the room. Look at the notice for that date.
Call before you drive to the wrong building in Castle Dale.
Free consultation — phone or video. No obligation.
Call (435) 294-6806The court is in Castle Dale. A lot of the defendants are not.
Most hearings at Emery County Justice Court are held virtually or hybrid. That is how many people in Huntington, Ferron, or Green River make a setting without treating SR-10 or I-70 as the courtroom. A video hearing is still court. Be on time, be somewhere you can be heard, and have the citation. If the notice says 1850 North 560 West, that is the trip. Do not substitute the Main Street building because it looks like a courthouse.
The first call does not require a trip to Saratoga Springs, where Littlefield Legal is based, or to Castle Dale. It is by phone or video. Utah's driver-license process runs on a short timeline of its own, separate from this criminal case. Bring the paperwork you have. Dallin will tell you what relates to the license and what relates to the court date.
