The Idaho Court Data website has a variety of information about the operation of Idaho’s courts. 

If you are interested in data that is not available on the Court Data website, you can ask a Judicial Branch data team to research it. Your request will be evaluated based on Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32 and whether adequate resources exist to perform the research. You will need to answer several questions about who is requesting the data and the intended purpose of the request. Much of this information is necessary to prioritize large data requests. Please note that court rule does not require compiled data requests to be granted. Please use this form to submit your request. 

Attorneys and extended access users both have their own online case information portals. Certain cases that produce a high number of records requests are posted on the Cases of Interest page. If you are trying to request records related to the administrative work of the courts, please submit those requests to your local trial court administrator (for the trial courts in Idaho’s counties) or to datarequests@idcourts.net (for records maintained by the Supreme Court and its Administrative Office). 

Access to Idaho state court records is governed by Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32. You can read the details of the rule in the court rules section of this website. 

Courts in the federal District of Idaho are not part of Idaho's state court system. Information on accessing court records in the federal courts can be found on the U.S. District of Idaho website. 

Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32 governs what records in Idaho’s statewide unified court system are public and how they are managed. This rule, which is distinct from the Idaho Public Records Act, states: “[t]he public has a right to access the judicial department's declarations of law and public policy, and to access the records of all proceedings open to the public.” The rule seeks to promote accessibility and government accountability while protecting privacy, minimizing individual harm, and avoiding undue burden to the business of the judiciary.

For most records, the custodian has three working days from the receipt of the request to provide records, deny a request, or refer the matter to a custodian judge. If the custodian determines it will take more than three working days to decide on the request or gather the records, they must notify the requesting party within 10 working days.
 

Requests for copies of individual records from multiple cases are not compiled data and should go to the relevant court clerk for the case (the Teton County Clerk’s Office would be the custodian for district court files in Teton County, for example, and the Clerk of the Supreme Court would be the custodian for Supreme Court case files). 

Requests for information that must be compiled from across multiple case files in the manner previously described must use the data request form linked above.
