Judicial career

Mr. Evans was appointed in 1990 to be a Commissioner for the Third District Court in Salt Lake City. Unlike judges, which are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Senate, Commissioners are chosen by the judges that are presiding in the districts that need the commissioners (Due to legislation allowing courts to "hire" commissioners). They are then appointed by the Utah Judicial Council. One example of the differences in the powers between a Commissioner and a judge is that a Commissioner's contempt power is less; for a commissioner the maximum contempt charge is five days, unlike the thirty days a judge can give. Commissioners they still have bailiffs and wear robes.

As a Commissioner, Michael Evans has either chaired,or has been a member of many different committees such as: The Executive Committee of the Standing Committee on Judicial Branch Education; the Protective Order and Custody Evaluation sub-committees of the Standing Committee on Children; the Family Law Domestic Violence Advisory Council. The Utah Child Support Task Force; and Utah the Gender and Justice Task Force. The Commissioner is extremely involved with many family oriented disputes. Furthermore, Commissioner Evans has also taught classes "Divorce Education for Children." These two hour classes seek to educate children how to communicating their feelings and emotions. The course which is free to attend helps individuals understand that they are not alone in their struggles.
