The City of Orem Justice Court participates in the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Program. When filing a small claims case with our court, you will need to complete specific ODR forms. These forms are located online on the State Court ODR Website. You can also come to the Orem Justice Court and we will provide the forms to you.
The City of Orem Justice Court has jurisdiction over small claims cases if the defendant (person being sued) resides in Orem City or the debt arose within the Orem City limits.

After the case is filed with the court, the plaintiff (person filing the claim) is responsible to serve the defendant notice of the suit.
