Step 1: Read the court name on your paperwork
Start with what you already have. Your citation, plea paperwork or order names a court, and in Weber County that name matters. The Weber County Attorney's court list, cited below, shows how many there are: the 2nd District Court on Grant Avenue, the juvenile court on 20th Street, Ogden City Justice Court on 26th Street, Weber County Justice Court in Roy, and city justice courts from North Ogden to Riverdale.
Circle the court name and the case number. Everything else in this guide depends on them.
Step 2: Figure out whether a class is required or your own choice
If a judge or a probation agent mentioned a class, find the exact words in writing. Look for the number of hours, a deadline, and any format rules. If nobody required it and you simply want help with how you handle anger, you have more freedom and can skip ahead to Step 4.
Step 3: Ask the person who decides
For a felony, divorce or civil matter, Ogden City's Justice Court page lists the Second District Court at 2525 Grant Avenue as the court handling those case types. Misdemeanor and traffic questions go to Ogden City Justice Court at 310 26th Street. If you are under supervision, the Department of Corrections lists its Adult Probation and Parole office for Weber and Morgan counties at 2540 Washington Blvd., 5th Floor.
Call or ask at your next check-in: what kind of class do they want to see, and what proof do they expect? Only the court or your probation officer decides whether a program fits your order. A provider can't make that call for you.
Step 4: Make a short list
Pick two or three providers from the directory. For each one, note:
- In person in Ogden, online, or both
- Group size and whether one-on-one time is offered
- Total hours and how the weeks are spaced
- Days and times that fit your work schedule
If you work rotating shifts, ask about makeup sessions now, not after you miss one.
Think honestly about which format you will keep up with. A weekly evening group close to home may be easier to stick with than a cheaper option across the county. An online class can save a drive, but only if you have a quiet, private place to join from. If your case paperwork says anything about in-person attendance, that settles the question for you.
Step 5: Call and ask the same questions each time
Using the same script with every provider makes the answers easy to compare. Ask how intake works, what a typical session covers, how attendance is recorded, and what the final document says. Ask whether they will talk to your probation agent if you sign a release. Ask what happens if you need to pause for a hearing or a family emergency.
Listen for straight answers. Be cautious with any provider who claims to know what your judge will accept.
Step 6: Check back before you pay
Take what you learned back to your officer or the court clerk if your class is tied to a case. Something as simple as "Provider A runs a weekly group for this many hours and gives a signed letter at the end" is enough for them to tell you yes or no. Then enroll.
Step 7: Keep your own records
Make a folder, paper or digital, for this class. Save the enrollment confirmation, each receipt, and every attendance slip. Write the date of each session on a calendar. If you move between Ogden addresses or change phone numbers during the class, update the provider and your officer the same week.
Step 8: Finish and deliver the proof
When the last session ends, ask for the completion document right away. Read it before you leave: your name, the dates, the hours. Deliver a copy to whoever asked for it, and keep the original. If you file it at a court counter, ask for a stamped copy.
A note on choosing for yourself
If you came to this on your own, the same steps still help. Comparing formats, asking how sessions run, and keeping track of what you learn will make the class more useful. This directory introduces you to independent providers; we don't run the classes or check credentials, so your own questions are the filter.
