MONDAY, FEBRUARY 02, 2026 Scammers are impersonating local and federal jury offices and law enforcement. They may use your personal details, real agency names, and fake badge numbers to pressure you into staying on the line and threaten arrest or fines. Courts never call to demand payment or personal information. Do not share any information—hang up immediately. Verify jury matters only by contacting your local or federal jury office using official phone numbers.
Chief Judge Amanda K. Brailsford welcomes you to the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. In 1891 was appointed by President Harrison to become the first Federal Judge for the District of Idaho. We have a long and proud history rooted in our commitment to provide an impartial and accessible forum for the just, timely and economical resolution of legal proceedings within the jurisdiction of the Courts.
The District of Idaho has had 13 Judges appointed by the President of the United States, with two active and one senior judges currently on the bench. In addition to our two active and one senior Article III Judges, we have two active Magistrate Judges that assist with our busy workload.
Our judges hold court in Boise, Coeur d'Alene, and Pocatello.
