Abstract
In 1985, Utah revised its constitution to grant the Utah Supreme Court power to make rules of procedure and evidence for the courts of the State. The new article eight, section four of the Utah Constitution ("Section Four") provides in part: "The Supreme Court shall adopt rules of procedure and evidence to be used in the courts of the state and shall by rule manage the appellate process" Prior to 1985 and the adoption of Section Four, the legislature possessed authority to adopt rules of procedure and evidence, but delegated that aiithority to the supreme court. Section Four establishes the supreme court, rather than the legislature, as the primary rulemaker for Utah courts.
