District Court

All Jury Trials Suspended Until Further Notice

Due to the continuing community spread of the coronavirus, the increased pressure on Idaho's healthcare professionals and systems, and in order to foster public safety for both the general public as well as those who would otherwise be required to participate in a jury trial or grand jury impanelment proceeding, pursuant to Idaho Court Administrative Rule 48 this Court now orders that no jury trial, whether criminal or civil, nor grand jury impanelment proceeding shall commence in Idaho state courts until further order of this Court. Continuing service by seated grand juries will be left to the discretion of the presiding district judge who impaneled the grand jury, based on the standards and protocols set forth in this Court's September 16,2020 order.
