Judges
The court consists of seven judges who serve six-year renewable terms. A presiding judge is elected by majority vote to serve for two years. Court of Appeals sessions usually are conducted in Salt Lake City, but the court travels several times per year, holding court in different geographical regions of the state. The court sits and renders judgment in rotating panels of three judges. It is prohibited by statute from sitting en banc (all seven members at once).
The seven judges on the court as of 2012 are:
- Carolyn B. McHugh (presiding judge)
- J. Frederic Voros, Jr. (associate presiding judge)
- James Z. Davis
- Michelle M. Chistiansen
- Gregory K. Orme
- Stephen Roth
- William A. Thorne, Jr.
