Background

The Summit County Attorney's Office, which Margaret Olson leads, prosecutes all felonies and most misdemeanors in the county outside Park City's municipal boundaries and advises the County Council, county departments and many special service districts. It also oversees the Summit County Children's Justice Center and a Victim Assistance Program. These describe the office's responsibilities, not cases Olson personally handled.
